I know I know, its a PITA thing to ask and its all a matter of preference but I'm stuck and tired of staring at them. I'm looking for some opinions of choices of what to get from what I listed below.

Help me pick a Wheel
-
I like 1 & 4.
-
I like 1, 3 & 6. I think #6 the color would really compliment your Jeep.
-
I'm a fan of simplicity, especially on Jeeps (look at me talking, I have one busy rim pattern
) so I say #4. But, #6 is pretty sweet. -
My favorite. Fwiw, wheels can be difficult to find in stock for Jeeps... they don't seem to make enough of the popular ones. Good luck
-
I pick #4, when you beat them up on they trail you wont care as much. And If you bent the hell out of one they are cheaper to replace.
-
I like No. 1. I've seen them up close and personal. And then you need Mickey Thompson Baja Claws to go on them ;D
-
For the lazy (or if you don't have hover zoom on your browser):
I like #1 also. Do they make it in a real lock?
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
-
Thanks Billy and nice touch with the snow flakes graphic!
They don't make a real lock, those are removable/replacable faux lock rings. -
personnaly i like 1 and 4 (i have the soft 8's on mine), but 6 would look very nice on your jeep and would be different from what everyone else has. i like the idea of a more rare setup.
-
#4 with MTR's are a PITA to balance. They have been holding up pretty well for a $70 wheel though.

Matt I have the exact Craigers on the new Jeep. I will be at the JFJ event on Sunday if you want to see how they look in person.

Price was exactly why I run them on my TJ. I never tried to balance them though...just threw 12 oz of balancing powder in them and called it a day.Back to why I like #1. Even though they look good IMO, people make fun of fake bead locks but they really are functional as they protect the rim and valve stem better than having nothing.
-
#3 is nice, that would be my first choice. Had #4 and really liked them, for wheeling and DD I would get those Had street locks and hated them. OF course they weren't in black, that might change my opinion. I had the all silver and they sucked. Black would be much better.
-
Matt... if I remember right, don't you already have DC II's that look similar to #5?
-
3 is probably my favorite above but these are what all the cool kids are gonna have.

No, I have 16'' black ProComps. I need a 17'' to run 37'' mt/r's so I need to buy everything and I finally wore down the wife and she gave me the green light to buy.
QuoteBack to why I like #1. Even though they look good IMO, people make fun of fake bead locks but they really are functional as they protect the rim and valve stem better than having nothing.
Thats pretty much the reason I like option 1. I like the look and since this is my DD and I like keeping things looking nice I could buy another set os rings and swap them out for wheeling and non-wheeling to keep it so fresh and so clean. But these are also the most expensive on my list and I was starting to go crazy looking at them all. -
So far this is the counts on all your feedback. I also asked a couple people at work so that's why the math isn't right if any of you are nit pickers..
I must say I like 1, 3, and 6 the most but number 6 looks a lot like my wife's stock rims on her Grand Cherokee so I think I'm dropping that choice. So between 1 and 3 I'm leaning more towards 1 because of the earlier stated reasons and "on paper" the ideas seem good and they make sense to work. But whether or not it really goes that way... 
. Number 3 is a nice looking wheel that ultimately will get rock rash on it and one day when bad enough I'll need ne wheels again.
Option 4 is nice but I think I want something a little more and Spedly's word of warning with balancing issues with mt/r's is enough reason for me not to get them.
Thanks for the feedback guys, any other .02 you want to add would be cool.

Same here. (Well, I run the D-window steelies, but same idea and price range.) Balancing powder or beads FTW -

How well does the balancing powder or beads work for a daily driver that frequently travels at highway speeds? I always hear good and then bad about these but I dont have any personal experience.
