The Rugged Ridge wheels are the only hub-centric ones in the bunch. Hub-centric wheels take a lot of the stress off of the lugs. Helps when you have oversized tires. Important to me, that's why I went with AEV Pintlers.

The Pro Comps get my vote. Flame Red looks great with black wheels (but then again I'm a little biased ) .

I wouldn't think so. I'm sure they undergo testing before being made available to the market. My thing about most alloy wheels is they will eventually go out of style. They are very specific in their fashion. My mind is simple.....since there are timeless designs such as Cragar Soft 8s and some of the steel Black Rocks, why not just go with those? They will never go out of style. All of this is just my opinion, of course.....which the OP DID ask for.

Cool. I was just asking. Like I said none of those are really my taste. I got some fake steel-locks myself. Just got a little curious based on the bluntness of your post.
