AEV Pintler or Bridger ???
OK
I have an 08 Steel Blue Rubicon Unlimited coming soon.
I am going to put a 2 in Black Diamond BB or a 2.5 in Teraflex BB on it.
I want to run 33 BFG AT Tires.
I can't decide on which wheel I like more????
I am going with the Argent for sure but what do you guys think?
The Bridger or Pintler? (I assume I will have no problems with 33's on either)
Check it out here and let me know what you think, no I am not going with the Beadlock...
This is a DD.

It appears to depend on whether you want 16" or 17" rims... The Bridgers only come in 16" and the Pintlers in 17"... that might steer your decision by itself.

OK
Excuse my stupidity of course I know its the size BUT
why should I go with one (16 or 17) over the other?
This is my DD so off roading isnt really a concern.

17 will give you a slightly better ride on-road, but the tires will be quite a bit more expensive.
buy the ones you think look the best that improved ride might not even be noticeable (assuming you wouldn't mind paying more for tires if you go with the 17).

Either
The difference of 1 inch will not be noticed with a tire that large in the ride. The air pressure and load rating of the tire will play a larger role. That being said I have the bridgers and 35 inch tires with my 2.5 BB. The pintlers will stick out just a hair farther from the fenders than the bridgers and that was what made my decision for me (and price sealed the deal). I don't think you can go wrong with either.... the AEV is a nice wheel made for this specifically for this application. I'm very glad I went with this combo and it is perfect for what I use it for (daily driver and off road abuse). Also I highly recommend the Hankook tires. They bite hard off road and are very easy to live with on a daily driver. I have a couple pics up on myspace.com/frdmstang
Also... Argent isn't as dark as it looks in pictures. I think it would look killer on your steel blue.
