Default Which d-rings?

I'm getting a PureJeep stubby bumper this week, and I want to get some stainless steel d-rings for it. I found two options--each has a different shape. I can't decide which to get. Now, most you guys would probably say that either one would work just fine, but as a girl, I want it to look good as well! So help me decide which shape would look better:

Option #1 - $75/pair

Option #2 - $100/pair

Wow! They are expensive!

I'm not into shiny stuff but if I have to choose between those two, I would pick the second one.

Personally, I like this one: http://www.shrockworks.com/3-4-Clevi...-pr-16149.html I think black ones go well on PJ stubby.

I paid $20 a piece for mine at a oil field supply. I saw some black ones at Tractor supply for $14 each. 3/4 inch.

$20 each for polished stainless steel? The one's in your gallery look more like galvanized ones to me. I will check out Tractor Supply--thanks for the tip.

No, not polished, but they will get the job done.

I also would vote option 3 - anything that is not shiny. Jeeps should not have anything shiny, they are just going to get messed up anyway if your actually using your Jeep.

i think shiny looks lame - too bling for a jeep -

go with nice black or unpainted silver - you can save $ too -

When I was building the rear bumper on my F250 I found in my junk pile two 3/4" d-rings. They were different colors. I put the wire wheel on my drill and ground off the paint. They were not polished, but actually came out REAL shiny. You may not be able to tell from the attatched picture, but from 20' away you might think they were polished.
