Just got my 7189's and Duratrac's on today. Vast improvement and I like the contrast of the machined lip. Too dark now, I'll post pics tomorrow.

Or i could mix up the voting and recommend the 7089



Not a fan of the chrome ring around the 7189s personally....

Good luck with the decision.

I am having a similar dilemma between 7089 or the 7189. Do you have a pic from the side you could post?

Another thread resurrected from the dead. I'm not exactly sure, but it seems after 20 months of hibernation the topic is a little stale. However, I'm not one to pass up a good opinion...

Neither! I prefer hub-centric wheels - just like the OEM does. AEV, Rugged Ridge, Mopar, using hub rings, or whatever. Anything but putting everything on the lugs without support from the hub.
