Just wanted to share my experience with Anthem Off Road wheels from them messing up my order to the wheel finish coming off not even 2 years later. They market themselves as a rugged America offroad company that stands by their product. Which sold me. Plus I didn’t want to have the same wheels as everyone else. I purchased a set of wheels from them and went ahead and bought tires and TPSM to go with them. The tires I could of got cheaper locally, but then I would have to go to the shop and have them put on. So I opted to pay their higher price for tires so I could get the wheels with tires mounted and balanced, TPMS already installed. All I had to do was bolt them on my truck. Received the wheels. Bolted them on just to find that they didn’t install the TPSM. Had to wait a week for them to ship them to me. Then had to go to a tire shop to have them installed. The shop ended up scratching 3 of my brand new rims. I called and complained about the whole situation and they basically said “well we didn’t recommended that tire shop to you”. I guess they couldn’t realize none of this would of happened if they did their job in the first place and installed the TPSM in the first place. Fast forward 1.5 years and I started noticing the clearcoat coming off one of the wheels. After a month or so all 4 wheels had the clear coat peeling off. I posted a question about the finish coming off on their Facebook page. Another costumer chimed in and said their clear was peeling off also. Then our comments were deleted. I commented again. Again, my comment was deleted. I looked at at their website for the first time since I purchased wheels for them. I noticed they now offer a wheel protection kit that contains cleaners and ceramic coating. This wasn’t offered back when I bought my wheels. Which leads me to believe they have had more than just me complaining about their clear peeling off. Has as anyone else had experience with anthem off road? Regular real customers. Not their “brand ambassadors” which is a new marketing scheme they started where they create a whole group of Social media sales people by offering them their rims for a discounted price. In return those people promote the wheels online and try to push people to buy their sub par wheels. I’m talking real customers using their rims in real life, everyday applications. Thanks

My brother sold his Chevy and got a ram 2500. Says he loves it. Says he will never buy Gm again. It's sad bc we grew up in a family that drove nothing but GM. I can't remember my parents driving anything but GM my whole life and they still do. At the age of 43 my brother was the first to buy a none GM truck haha. Now we are all sitting here looking at dodge like ....."hmmm.......maybe".

I spent $2500 on wheels and tires from Anthem Off Road. The tire shop contacted them to see about a fix. Anthem told them any generic gloss black touch up paint will work. Apparently that's how they fix wheels that have been damaged during shipping. I like the rims. I just can't recommend them due to the way they do business. The local tire shop says the rims are not damaged structurally. It was just the finish. So they just want to follow what Anthem said and use generic touch up paint to fix them.

When I first installed the wheels I assumed the TPSM I paid for were installed. I didn't get around to going to a tire place until a week or two after installing the wheels/tires to have them synced to my truck. That's when the tire shop told me there were no TPSM. Then I contacted the online store I purchased the rims/tires from. They had me email them a pic of the valve stems. They could tell from the pic the valvestems were not their TPSMs. That's when they informed me they F@cked up and sent me TPSMs and told me they would reimburse me for the install. Their return policy says once rims are driven on they can't be returned. I guess if you buy online take them straight to a tire shop to check for TPSM if you require a tool.

So this is kind of on topic off topic. I know there are a lot of wheel enthusiasts on this thread so I'm going to ask. I ordered rim/tire package online. Long story short...they sent the tires mounted and balanced but forgot to put the TPSM in the tires. I had already paid for them and they shipped them separately and told me to send them the install invoice. Still kind of defeats the purpose/incentive of buying a tire rim package online that's "bolt on ready". So, tire shop scratched 3 of my 4 brand new rims. The manager says he knows a guy that can airbrush it and fix them. Has anyone had rims fixed like this? Will the fix last? Thanks for any info. I apologize if this is in the wrong area. Just been on this thread a little recently.

I finally figured out how to get pics on here. This is a 3.5" lift with 305/55r/20 on 20x10 rims. BFgoodrich KO2s. They rub slightly at full lock in reverse.

Did that TPMS tool work for these trucks? In need of one myself.

I was also in the aviation field. I worked on helicopters in the Marine Corp at MCAS Miramar. My last aviation job was at Bradley international Air port in CT. I worked avionics on Bombardier Global Express aircrafts. State of the art beautiful aircrafts. The 6000s and 7000s had all glass cockpits. I'd post pictures but every time o do on this forum it says the files are too big. Since I've moved back to San Diego and work a different field. I do kind of miss planes though.

I did the same thing. I have two led light pods I drilled into my trailer hitch. I bought a wire harness from rigid industries meant for this exact application. Believe it or not it was only $50. Came with everything you need already wired. It's like 25 ft long so you have plenty of wire to run it from the battery, in the cab, and down the frame to the lights in the rear. You tap into the wire bundle for the trailer lights. It comes with a 3 way toggle seitch also. The switch has off position/ on position so you can switch them on manually whenever you want/ and auto position which will have the reverse lights come on automatically when you put it in reverse. The wire harness had instructions on what trailer hitch wires to tap into. I believe you can find the diagram online if you search rigid aux back up light harness. The way I tapped into the trailer wires......if I leave the switch in auto, the lights come on when I unlock the truck with keyless entry. You know how when you first unlock your truck all the lights come on including reverse. Then after like 30 seconds just the normal lights are on.......or something like that. Wire harness $50: https://www.amazon.com/Rigid-Industries-Back-Light-Harness/dp/B00PACD2D0 You can use them with any lights. I didn't use rigid lights. I got two led pods from sneveys off road for a lot less with the same lumens. You just have to get creative a bit with how you splice. I ordered pre pinned connectors from amazon. I just spliced them on to the lights and the harness so I could easily unhook the lights in the future if I want to switch them. If anyone gets this kit I would suggest getting wire loom to protect the wires and keep them in a nice bundle. They have wire loom at harbor fright cheap. In the OPs case, you might be able to just switch out your switch with a 3 position one. You would have to find that diagram I mentioned to see if you need to run additional wires. ***** I found the diagram for the switch. I hope this helps. May give you an idea.

Got a 3.5" lift with 305/55r/20 BFGoodrich KO2s on 20x10 rims with a -24 offset. They rub slightly at full lock backing out of my driveway.

I installed the 3.5" RC kit. I have 305/55R/20 with -24 offset. The tires do rub a bit in full lock backing out of my driveway. Idk if this helps at all.

Thanks for these links. Great info spelled out.. Says for the 6112 ride height for a GM pick up is 1.8" and the 5100s has a lift height if 1.85". I was hoping to get a little more height out of these long awaited 6112s. So now I'm left with a spacer like kit......or risking a divorce after my wife sees the credit card statement after buying fox or kings .

I see a lot of people stating they went the lemon law route. For those of you that went that route, how was the outcome?

It's hard to say without seeing it, but I know some covers come with an additional strip of weather seal. They have you glue it to the actual bulk head that runs along the front of the bed. so when you close the cover the weather stripping on the cover panel meets the weather strip on the bulkhead running along the back cab window. Not sure if this would help your situation and close the corner gaps though. I'd try calling them. Maybe they have a fix or will send you weather stripping.
