Default Need Help deciding between wheels...

I think I may have it narrowed down between these 2 wheels... The Addict and the Hoss.

Looking for feedback regarding KMC quality and of course your opinion between these two:

I bought my Hoss' before the Addicts came out. If I could do it again now, I'd get the Addicts..

The quality is great except for the center cap. Mine didnt fare well in a four season climate and thus they just got the rattle can treatment.
