Default Help me choose rims!

After finally deciding on my endless decision of tires, I'm going with 305/70/16 Duratracs. Now, I've got to decide on two pretty common wheels - although not common in my neck of the woods.....level 8 tracker and MB72 both in black and both 4.5 bs.

Need help deciding on which would go better on a black 4dr JK Unlimited Sahara, with TF levelling kit. Also, the MB72 is in stock and I could them this week, or wait an extra week or so for Level 8.

Level 8

They are both so similar, I don't think you can go wrong with either. Welcome to the forum.

I like the ones with 8 holes, but that's just me

The level 8 is concave and the MB 72 is pretty much flat....and yes, both have 8 holes.

I'm running mb72s and have zero regret. Been beating on them hard and nothing but some rock rash. Looks great too.
