Question Help with wheel choice

Hey guys!

I'm trying to choose a replacement wheel for my stock steelies. I've decided to stick with 16" wheels so that when funds became available, I can transfer the tires to them.

My choices are: American Eagle 186 super finish, Mickey Thomspon Classic II and American Racing Baja.

Which one would you choose & why? Please no black wheels, I don't care for them. Thanks!

The MT are great looking and very strong wheels, will outlast almost everything else on the Jeep.

Post O.K.

It appears that the MTs have the lead All three are priced close, MTs being the most expensive. I will probably go with them since they have the steel inserts for the lug holes. Thanks all

Assuming these are the 3 you are talking about, I'd be between the M/T's and the AR 186's
