Default Pro Comp 8179 or Procomp 6007

I'm looking at new rims for my silver unlimited and I have picked two different rims I like very much.

1. Pro Comp 8179 ( http://www.quadratec.com/products/92819_60XX_A_PG.htm )

or

2. Pro Comp 6007 ( http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetai...o=PXA6007-8973 )

The prices are nearly the same (around $100ish)

They will be mounted on 33" toyo on 16.
Those rubbers were on the 05 wrangler I had before but the bolt pattern is off so I can't use them on the new wrangler.

Post any pics if you have a wrangler with either of those rims

Which would you buy in my situation?

My vote was for the Pro Comp 8179 wheels. I'm more partial to the Mickey Thompson Classic design myself - when the funds build up again that's the direction I'm heading - I think.

For a sliver jeep I would definitely go with the 8179's. I think black wheels look really good on a silver jeep.
