Here is my dilemma.

Do I go with 18" black XD monsters (I have ordered them, and can cancel the order) or do I put the 2011 FX2 18" alloy wheels on and save $500. I will be keeping the stock tires for now, until time to replace.

Here is my truck. I am torn right now.

This is basically what it would look like (this is not my truck, but same color and wheels)

Monsters.

However, this is a sweet freakin' wheel, and you don't see them on many rides. I almost got these and I kinda wish I had.

They're made by Ballistic and they're called Jesters.

How hard are the Matte Black rims to keep clean?

You're looking at the Monsters right?

They aren't easy to keep clean, but if you have decent quality pads and put some type of sealant on them from time to time that will help immensely

I use Adam's SVRT for the wheel face and tires. I am going to try their new Quick Sealant next, got some on the way to me now.


Great Results- This SVRT on the wheels and Tires. It will bead water too!

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions I've been searching all over for the best solution from them looking "chalky" (big problem for matte black wheels) it only gets that way if you neglect them, which we're all guilty for every now and then
