I have the MT II and love em. They have held up really well. A little rusting around the center cap but comes right off with a little fine steel wool. Let me know if you have any questions.

Center caps rust constantly, 50,000 miles and they could use polishing but overall have held up well. I'm not a big fan of polished so matte finish works for me.

Man both types of wheels look good. This might be a tough decision.

Something besides looks you may or may not have considered is that the MT's are lug centric and the AEV's are hub centric.

Good luck with your choice.

How is hub different from lugs?

hub centric is easier to get the wheel mounted 100% centered on the axle, because the hub fits snuggly into the wheel. lug centric takes alittle more attention to detail to get all 4 wheels mounted perfectly, as the lugs pull the wheel center as they are tightened. a wheel that isnt mounted on the axle can cause vibrations and such.

my vote is the pintlers. i plan on going the pintler beadlocks when i go to 37s.

+1 for the pintlers. MT II's just don't add anything to the looks of the jk for me they are just a good offroad wheel that looks decent in my opinion.
