Default Ok Please help me decide??

Sooo I told myself that I was not going to upgrade to 37's for a while, but the urge is getting the best of me and I think I might pull the trigger. I believe I will be

ordering the MCE Carbon flat fenders , and even tho I'm running 35" MTR's now I think ill stick with them in 37's due to their awesome price atm, and I do like

mine that I have. I was also considering the nitto mud terrains but at almost 100 more a tire I don't really think I would like the that much more. My main

debate is between the rims. My rubicon is black and I have been going for the grayish accent colors on it. I am debating between the ATX Ravines in Matte Gray,

or the ATX Cornice in teflon. Here is a current pic of my Rubi, and a pic of the two rims. Please let me know what everyone thinks!!

Sorry I can't help with the choice of wheels but yes if you like your MTR's keep them because they're also one of the lightest 37's out there

Why would our opinion on this matter? It's your jeep. I think blingy expensive fake beadlocks are a ridiculous waste of money and you should just keep the old-school looking rims you have now. See, my opinion doesn't matter...

But since you want to spend money on style, why not start by comparing the actual specs. You are moving up to 37's, so the tires need to be moved further out. Which of the two rims that you like has the lowest backspace/offset? Is it low enough?

Haha thx, they have Identical specs and offset, and I have to change my rims since I currently have 15's and 37's are not really offered in that rims size anymore.
