I don't think you can go wrong with either as they both look good.

When I tried to order some 18x9 Pro Comps pretty much every rim I looked at in that size they said was discontinued. The 8069 in 18x9 was discontinued and several others I looked at in that size. I think I even asked about the one you're looking at. Maybe check with Pro Comp to see if they are even still available. The places that I checked did not have them in stock and were not able to order them.

If you're down to 2 wheels you should pick up at least two more, three if you want a spare and considering how quick you go through them it may be a good idea.

This. I was able to get a set, they only had 4 in stock and got a 5th directly from ProComp that they happened to have. My first choice was actually the 7005, but they were out so I got another set. I asked why there were so many styles discontinued and he said that 18 was not a popular size...a lot of people going with 20's.
