Wheel Opinions
Okay, so I'm looking for some new wheels for the rig, Only, I cant decide. I've got a few Ideas, but would like some opinions from people about the durability of the wheels and their finishes, which is what I'm most concerned about. I want something that isnt going to fade out easily, and will stay with the most minimum amount of maintenance.
Here is what I've looked at so far, feel free to recomend/give input! Thanks!
Also, I'm looking for 15x8's that paired with some 32x11.5R15's will give a more agressive look.
American Eagle 058's
The American Racing Baja:
(Unsure about Polished/Chromed Alloy finish, input? -I live in Michigan)
The Procomp Xtreme Alloy 1069
The Mickey Thompson Classic II's

american racing baja's all the way. I have the polished finish.
i live in michigan to.
and if they fad from mud or salt....
use some nxt all metal wax....(whatever wheel you buy, put this wax on it before you mount them on the tires.)
back to life they come....(the marks are water marks because it rained before i took the pic.)

I waxed mine when i first got them.
They were fine for a year then i let the mud and bake on them for 2 weeks and the shine wasnt there anymore when i washed them. So i just put another coat on. And i will probably lay another coat before winter just to be safe.
I feel that if you buy a nice set of wheels that you want to keep nice, there is going to be a little bit of work no matter what wheel you buy. And me, i dont mind polishing mine up to protect them every now and then. I spent a lot of money for something that looks good, im not going to let them get ruined because im to lazy to maintain them.

I can see what everyone means by being diffirent...So, I'm open to any suggestions (Wheel name and model, if possible, so I can research them). I want a wheel that makes the truck look more complete, and nice. I'm trying to stay away from anything that looks cheap. Any suggestions are welcome for diffirent designs! Thank you, and keep 'em coming!
