Default Help Me Choose

Looking to buy some new wheels. Looking at either of the following in 15x10.

Eagle Alloy Series 185 - $496 from 4WheelOnline


or

Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock - $470 (after $50 rebate) from 4WheelParts


Or perhaps you have other suggestions?

I like the MT better. Can the ring be changed or is it part of the rim?

For this particular one, looks as though it can't be changed, other MT you can. That doesn't bother me much though. I like a hint a silver around the black rim, thats why I want one of these two.

image-4035699598.jpg image-2013158822.jpg image-3436215065.jpg Mt baja! No the rings can't be changed it's the actual rim it's cut to look like a beadlock. And mine are 15x10. All 4 brand new in boxes on Craigslist $350. Eagles look like Atv wheels.

Yea, I'm leaning towards the MT because I'm not crazy about the chrome center cap on the EA. Plus the MT are a bit cheaper if I did the mail in rebate.

Yeah the mt center cap actually bolts to the wheel. No loose caps to deal with.

I have some old American Racing Torq Thrusts right now that are plastidipped black in the center.

The plastidip was a good temporary fix, but time for something new.

Look for jeep wheels on Craigslist. All you might need is a good spacer then you'll be set to go. I do like BL style though.
