VOTE! : Tactical wheels vs H3T steelies

[H3DONIST]

I looking to buy a set of black wheels for my H3 and I figured I would post a vote, since I like both.

Cast your vote and leave your comments. Pros and cons, opinions and user experience is all welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Tactical wheels for sure! Ny reasoning is they are lighter than than the steelies and especially if your running 35's, it might save you some wear and tear on parts, imo

I like tactical wheels too. What about plastidipping yours for a example to see if you like them?

 

[auggie mathis]

My vote goes to the tactical because of the weight

 

[Bigunit]

What is the weight difference between the 2?

 

[alrock]

Curious about that too. If I recall correctly the aluminum wheels are 20 lbs each

I have some unmounted aluminum ones and some steelies. I'll weigh them & post up later if noone has that info. at hand.

Tactical.. Because anything with the word tactical is more better lol.. PoPo joke!!! On a serious not i do like the tactical better then the stillies.. The weight difference is just bonus..

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

It all the depends on the vehicle. For mine, I like the H3T steel wheels better. For yours, idk why but I lean towards the Tactical Edition wheels with red.

 

[H3DONIST]

So far the tactical wheels are shutting out the H3T steel ones. lol

I already have mine plasti dipped and I do like them, but I also like the steelies. I have a deal lined up to buy 5 tacticals and I just wanted to get a general consensus on opinions before I pulled the trigger.

As we all know, there's nothing quite like the approval of people on the internet to make us feel good about our decisions. :giggle:

I did the same thing as you a long time ago and made a poll. The Tactical Edition wheels won but in the end I still ended up with what I really wanted and that was H3T steelies. Don't let anyone else decide for you, get what you want.

 

[SolidusJ]

Come on really :giggle:? Wheel and tire with 287/75/16 90lbs each.

Fun poll H3DONIST. I have the steelies on my T - if I had to choose between the 2, I'd pick the steelies but since I have another rig, I'd like to get a set of tacticals for it.

IMO, the steelies look more miltary "tactical" than the tacticals - if you know what I mean!

If you decide you want steelies, let me know & I will trade you straight across for my set of steelies (I will have a set of 5) for your 5 tacticals. So, now you have a back-up plan if you want steelies - you just have to decide what you want. In the end, don't let a poll decide for you. The question is - which of the 2 do you like more? You can't go wrong with either of the 2.

I like the tactical wheels but as everyone has said, you have to go for what trips your trigger.

I love the look of the steelies but they hold mud like crazy that's why I grabbed the black open spoke ones from Hans

If you already have deal lined up on tactical wheels go with those. Your plastidip wheels look great and the the tactical wheels will keep that look with better durability then the plastidip.

Since visuals make it easier to decide here is a rough example of how the steelies would look on your truck:

 

[JR3T]

Weighed these tonight:
Stock H3/T alloy = 21 lb
H3T steelie = 30 lb

 

[cbetts]

I like the steelies. There is a lot less to catch on rocks if you do any kind of crawlin. My stock seven spoke rims have some serious rim rash.

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

Here are the 7 spoke rims he Plastidip'ed from his other thread. Tacticals would look the same, just a glossier finish and better durability like Jared said

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

My steelies

You need to Plasti Dip your front bumper where it's not black. :thumbs:

I got a fix for that :wink:

...and a gratuitous BA bumper shot thrown in for good measure! :thumbs:

oooh! I want one of those.
