Default Wheel Battle

Alright Y'all, I have a black 2013 2 door JK and am looking for some wheels to wrap 295/70r17 Nitto Trail Grapplers around. I have narrowed it down to two front runners: Fuel Offroad Dune and D!ck Cepek DC-2. Both have 4.5" backspacing with -12 offset. Let the opinions fly and please share pictures or stories if you have any experience with either of these wheels or manufactures. Thanks!

The dick cepeks suck to rotate since the lug holes are so tight and recessed.

Fuels for sure, I see the DC-2s everywhere and personally don't like them, but to each their own!

Pretty unanimous vote for the Fuel Dune. Does anyone have any experience with the matte black finish of the Fuels with how well they hold up? The DC-2s hype up the clear coat and UV protection.

Hey Alex, I'm up in Yorktown. I saw that you are in VA Beach. I moved here about six months ago (my wife was born and raised in Chesapeake and thrilled to be back home). Where in the Tidewater area do you wheel?

The clear wears off on the dc2's.....again, personal experience here. Also chesapeake/ va beach area and there is zero wheeling here unless you want to go out behind the airport and tear stuff up. No idea on leaglity, but it's likely illegal.
