I'm looking at aftermarket wheels 17 in, +25 offset for my Velocity Blue. I’m planning to stick with 17” wheels, likely around +25 offset. I don’t really see the need for 35s right now—I’ll probably run the KO3s until they wear out (~40k miles) and consider 35s down the road.
A lot of wheel simulators don't have that color or a limited inventory from which to choose.

I’ve also noticed there are a ton of Method wheels, so I’m definitely open to other brands/models as well. (I like the KMC GRS, and

Does anybody have pics with Velocity Blue to compare?
For color, I’m currently leaning toward bronze or chrome, but I’m still undecided:

Chrome or white: more of a retro look
Grey or gunmetal: clean and modern
Bronze: modern with a little alternative

I vote gunmetal or chrome depending on how much "bling" you want to add. Personally don't care for the bronze on that color.
I think I agree based on the Pictures I have seen with bronze. Yeah, I think I would like a black lip over a full chrome look.

There seem to be very few blue trucks, but a lot of Broncos that I am trying to use for the color matching. Not a one-to-one, but at least the right color

those lighter grey looking wheels would probably look good on that pretty blue color. or even gold would look good but its a bit strong for a lot of people. white would be awesome if your stickers are mostly white

Chrome or machined surface. I like the classic look, and with a bright color like Velocity Blue it pairs really well.

Running these from RTR. 17x9(+30) Their (RTR) pictures online are more gold, brighter, less dull and brownish. It was not the color i expected on what I received. I was going for the classic blue sti with gold rims.. 🙃
