Default XD, Fuel, Level 8....

Does anyone have any reviews on these wheels? I am considering the level 8 zx but was curious as to what people thought/experienced with these 3 brands.... or any others you think I should check out!

Thanks!

I have the XD's and think they are awesome. Absolutely no problems. I also think that rims are a personal choice and you probably can't go wrong with any of those that you mentioned.

Best of luck.

No matter which brand of wheel choice, what type of trails will you adventure? When your in two feet of abrasive mud; or riding hard against a tree root and or rock berm, you just know those rims are going to take a beating. Those expensive rims won't look so good after scratches and gouges. Just keep that in mind.

Good point but the level 8 zx wheels come with a bolt on scratch guard

Those wheels will look even better once all the scratches are there. Makes it look like you jeeped your jeep, not crawled the mall.

The scratch guard is a reason I'm considering the level 8's but was wondering if anyone has experience with these... But yes, I'm aware they will be scratched up - just makes the Jeep look better IMO

I have level zx but I had to get the rock ring guards separately and cost like $60 per pair. They do a good job protecting the rim's lip but suck when u go in mud since it traps it. Overall they are nice looking rims and I have no complaints.

I've broken several of the "rock rings" on rocks so it can get expensive over time if you wheel hard. They do protect the wheels though!
