Default Advice needed

Ok, so I will be joining the 37" tire club around January of next year. I know all of the other fun stuff that comes with that, so here is my dilemma. I currently run AEV Pintlers and love them, however I have the opportunity to run Method NVs. Knowing that there is no out of pocket expense for the wheel trade off, should I keep the AEVs or switch to the Methods? These are the Methods I would be getting.

Personal preference. I've seen Pintlers literally break on the trail from a not so hard rock hit. I've personally run the Method NVs myself, but on my previous '14 Ram 1500. Guess it just depends on the look you're going for. The Pintlers are sort of a classic look with being a 5-star pattern. The NV's are almost more of a race-bread/short course truck look if you will. I've seen then on other Wranglers and they look pretty decent. So it's a matter of pick which one YOU think looks best and go with it. If you're jjsut bored with the Pintlers and ready for a change....go for it!

If you're going to sell the AEVs I'm local and may be interested. Thanks

The Methods will have a better backspacing for running 37s.

Can't go wrong either way IMO, they are both sexy wheels.

To me, that's a big advantage, thanks!
