Wheels - Dish vs Spoke - Pros and con.

[paulmac272]

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting new wheels for my phantom ute and am tossing up between these two. 20 x 8.5.

The one on the left is a Bboss Trinity and the one on the right is a Versus Affliction Titanium. I'm leaning towards the trinity.

My question is, are there and advantages / disadvantages between a dish and spoked wheel, I've heard dish wheels are stronger, is this true?

Thanks

Dunno, but if you're only getting 8.5's on the rear, I wouldn't bother with a "dish".

A dish only looks good when it's nice and deep IMO...

Go with the trinity, the versus looks a lot like the advanti tourers. ugly a** rims

[BumbleBeeSSVR]

Agreed. Trinity looks way better. But PLEASE fill those guards! Nothing looks worse then shit fitment. Unless thats just me and my love affair with wide wheels that stick out past the guards. Even better when the tyre has been stretched and you get that sexy bead of rim poking out...

I'd go the deep dish.....looks much sexier. I have them in 8.5 (Stamford Wheels) all round, don't mind the look.

Simple answer.

If you intend to do big brakes you cant do dish on the VE. I had SSW phantoms on mine and loved them but had to sell them due to pending brake upgrade. That said, I love these concave rims I have now

Dish ftw. But I'm a little biast. I think dish on the front looks a bit weird though.

Get 'deep lip' rims. You can't fit deep dish rims on the VE.

Changed my mine and had these fitted yesterday. Versus Argon in Black.

will look much nicer when lowered,but nice ute anyway.

Should've stuck with the trinity's i reckon..

[paulmac272]

I did like the Trinity's but they were alot more expensive, and extra $700 with the same tyre package. I'm very happy with the Argon's.

If you plan on putting brembo's on the front down the track, take into consideration the clearances, you can lose a lot of the clearance space with some of the dished rims. But nice choice of wheels man!
