Which wheels should I get? (pics)

Ok, I've got 2 wheel choices to choose from, and im kinda leaning towards the wheels in the 2nd pic, but I want to get some opinions. Just so you know, they are both Ranger wheels.

well, I dont have the money to get the wheels I really want, and I cant stand the wheels on it now. And I want to do other things to the truck, like window tint and stuff, so I dont want to put all my money into the wheels.

dont expect those stock wheels to be cheap though... you can get some eagle alloys (micky knockoffs) for 300 new, while the stock 5 spookes are up in the 400-500 for used

I vote #2, but aftermarket wheels would be best, but I understand your reasoing for the stockers.
