Bout to make a purchase, looking for final opinions

Hey guys, you have been nothing but help. i have (finally) decided to go with the Fabtech 6" lift. I will be running the BFG km2 (35x12.50 18R). The one thing I am debating on is my wheels. I really like the Diamo 17 (with the black and chrome) but found these wheels for a really good price (bout $400 or so, brand new) so i would like to see what yall think. Thanks a lot, I will post pics as soon as its all done.

Out of those two, Diamo without a second guess. The others are $400 for a reason.

The only problem with the Diamo is: I will be ordering Camburg UCA and they say i can't have any more than 5" Backspacing.... Diamo's come with 5.02. You think that would be cutting it way to close?
(and they are 400... cuz i buy wholesale and get all my parts at cost... Diamo's are only a couple bux more for me)

I'd go with the Diamo's. If you have to, use a thin wheelspacer.

Thanks a lot for the replys. I wont be getting those wheels I posted (the granite alloy). And Wandell, thank you for that idea, didn't even think about a spacer. You know of a company with a quality spacer?

Ok... one more wheel to throw past yall... see what you think

I'm not sure about who makes a good spacer. I would try to avoid them if possible. As for the wheels, I like those. Pro Comp makes a lot of nice looking wheels.

Ya i always tried to steer clear of spacers. Have never run em on any of my rigs... but I sure do like those Diamo's. Hmmm... I will keep looking but may end up with those Pro-comps.
