Default Which wheel to get????

So I can't decide on which wheel to go with....Mickey Thompson Classic II Wheel or the Pro Comp Series 1079. Going for a 17 inch rim here. Both are chrome not black so I know I'll be shunned for not choosing black but thats ok. I was wanting to know if one is a better quality/company. I know that the Pro Comps seem to be a bit cheaper so thats a plus. Any opinions would be helpful. Oh, and I plan on putting 33 inch BFG KM2s on the ride. I've already got a RC 2.5 Coil lift. Thanks in advance!

I had the Pro Comps on my Jeep. The center of the wheel has less of a dished look than the MT wheels. They did tarnish with road salt. If I ever got polished wheels again I would look into powder coating them with a clear.

Also, what backspacing do you recommend...4.75?

Mine were 16x8 4.5 inch backspacing. They worked fine. My new Jeep is getting 15 inch tires and wheels.

i would go with the MT's. Like the looks better, and if i recall correctly they are 4.5" BS with the 5x5 pattern, which is a plus.
