Question which wheels?

Im just got her lifted and now im lookin for some wheels and tires

i work for discount tire, so this should be painless

im not sure what i can get my first choice for, but it is made by discount tire so i would imagine that i could get them for a good discount but im torn between these, http://w w w.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-127&pc=21401&counter=3&wd=17&rw=9

take the spaces out of the www.

and these

again, take the spaces out of the www.

my jeep is a black 2 door x with a 3 in lift and whichever wheels i choose will be wrapped in 35" nitto mud grapplers

i know these are two completely different looks but i think im leaning towards the ballistics

but the chrome pro comps are only 300 for the whole set...

but they are 18"s and i think i may want to stick with 17"s which i could get the ballistics in, but the prices on the mud grapplers actually are cheaper with the 18 in wheel

regardless i could get them both in 18" or i could get the ballistics anywhere from 17" to 22" haha but it would be 17 or 18

Those Series 6016 have too much backspace (6.25") to clear a 12.5" wide tire.

The Ballistic Enigma have 4.53" of backspace which will clear.

I like the style of the Ballistic with the 8 hole design. I'll be going with some Cragar Soft 8's which are similar but not nearly so fancy... Much cheaper, tho - about half the price.

Good luck with your decision.

Just a side bar, you know Discount Tire is a sponsor on this forum so no need to modify the direct link.

And I say go for the Balistics. You can always change the red inserts if the look doesn't work for you.

Its probably because some of us care what our rig is going to look like at the end of the day, and I dont consider mine to be "trail trash" i didnt spend the money i did to trash it. I bought it to make it my own!
