I'm looking to buy some new wheels to go with my new 37 inch tires. Do you think that the aev pintler are good to go or would you go with the level 8 zx wheel?

If it were me, I'd go with the Pintler's. I want those in the dark silver for my next wheel

I love my AEVs. But I don't have 37s.

The AEV's have more backspacing. So, you have to adjust your steering stops out more to avoid rubbing 37s on your lower control arms on a full lock turn. This doesn't matter as much with 35s.

If you like a sharper turning radius with 37s, run 4.25" or less backspaced wheels.
