The BFG MT KM2 is a much better tire. The Mud Grapplers perform well, but they are extremely loud and wear out quickly.
As for wheels, both look great, but I like the Moto Metals better.

I like the moto metals much more than the rockstars, expesically in a 17" rim. Whenever you are ready to go for a set of wheels, just let me know and I'll hook you up.

I don't think the rockstars are available in a 17".

I like the MM's better than the Rockstars, but everyone has the MM's. I just added a set of XD Monsters to my truck and they look great, but they're in chrome. They make'em in balck as well so you may want to take a look at them you might like them better than the MM's. Also I was going to go with the mud grapplers, but heard they were very loud so as a compromise I went with a set of Pro Comp mud terrians and I couldn't be happier.

I think everyone and their mother has rockstars-not that there is anything wrong with that, they are nice rims.

I like the old school look of these in black and crome.


These have a look I would back track for in a heartbeat.

Just my 2¢

Here is the AS site. Hope this helps. I think his prices are the same as what he has on ebay.
