Give me your opinions on which wheels....

I am going with a 17 x 8 wheel with 35" BFG on my all white 2005 4x4 Lariat Screw that has an AS 2.5" leveling kit. Both of these wheels are chrome and should not cause any rubbing issues, I just can't decide which one to go with. Let me hear your what you think.

1.





2.


Sorry I didn't know how to post the pictures just the links.

I like 2 personally but 1 may look better with your setup.

Tough choice but I think #1 looks more like the factory wheel. so I will go with #2 as more of a change.

No. 2 is the better choice for a larger tire. I would say if you were going to get a rim bigger than an 18 I would have gone with the other wheel.

remember they may not be 8 spokes as the ones shown. Given that the lug pattern is 6 it may olnly have 6 spokes which may make the wheel look different. for example the Cheyene 6 versus the Cheyene 8 by weld. Like the 8s but not the 6s so much.

I too have not seen #1 on any trucks yet that is why I am leaning that way and they somewhat resemble the stock rims which I like. Thanks for the input fellas.
