Couple of thoughts:
1) With the angularity of the Av body, I personally don't think you need a complex design like the Neptune, although it's a good looking wheel. I think that's why a lot of guys have gone with Atlas or Python designs...very simple, yet powerful. Trying to keep the idea that it is still a truck. JMHO. I have the Pythons on order.

2) My local wheel guy made an interesting comment. His observation on LOTS of SUV wheel replacements is that the more massive designs work better with dark body colors, and the more open designs tend to look better on lighter colors. Just something to think about.

3) The Neptune, although a good looking wheel, takes a LOT of work to keep looking nice. We're talking toothbrush and Q-tip work. Another reason to go with a simple design.

In the end, it's whatever you like. Go with it!!!

Just my $0.02. ;D ;D
