any strong reason to get Rock Warriors over OEM LC200?

[scubadds]

I am building adventure trailer and want to put the same wheels on the trailer.
I was going to buy a set of OEM take off LC200 Wheels and put BFG KO2 275/70-18s on the trailer; assuming I stay stock wheels...

I would need 6 tires and 7 if I do a spare. Adding in 6-7 Rock Warriors (if possible) add a lot of cost I could put toward other wants...

So, the RWs have 10mm less/more backspacing, but besides the look and maybe the forged thingy for aggresive off roading (which I don't plan to just yet) is there any other reason to get RW's (not questioning others choices to get them) but trying to decide if its worth it for me.

I am just making sure there are not other fit/size issues I am not aware of....

Were they the go-to before the offered 18" KO2's?

As you mentioned, they are forged - which yields a stronger, yet lighter wheel. At one point tire size availability was a big advantage as well. For those going off road, the extra side wall allows you to air down a bit more and likely gain some traction and comfort.
The negatives: pricey, limited availability, and look kinda "small" by today's standards.

What they said ^^...but there are tons of other options for wheels now. LC-compatible wheels used to be MUCH harder to find for the 100 series, because Tundras had not yet switched to 5x150. So much easier now.

If you like RW, just keep an eye on Craigslist. I've now bought two full sets that way. Sold the extra set to someone here, but they do come up pretty regularly for around $800 for four...

thanks, I think I will just find a few wheels for the trailer and stick with OEM for now
Thanks all

As an FYI, I recently contacted Vin at SCS about the prospect of 17" and 18" wheels for 200 Series. He noted that they're a small company and after an attempt to go after the 100 Series market didn't go so well they hadn't given any thought to 200 Series (he said they'd consider if there were overwhelming demand from customers for it). He also said that they're going to market toward the Tundra crowd so there will be 18x9 options that would likely cross over to 200 Series. That said, I don't have any SCS wheels, but these guys are Toyota guys and I like they're designs so that's why I reached out to them...
