ProComp vs Mickey Thompson vs Dick Cepek

I looking at replacing my factory wheels so I can jump up to a 32"X11.50" on my 4Runner. I have about a 2" lift so I have plenty of room. I'm trying to keep with the old school 4X4 look, not the street 4X4 look. I probably going to have them powder coated hammertone black to match my bumpers.

I have found a style from Procomp, Mickey Thompsom and Dick Cepek I like. Does anyone have any suggestions of pros and cons of the 3 brands. The Dick Cepek and MT's are about $40 more per wheel.

oy, sorry man. I don't like the look of either one of those. Have you looked thru American Racings selection? The only reason I went to a different rim was because my rear disk calipers were in the way. I would have kept my OEM alloys(the same as you have now) totally cleaned them and shot them black.

just my $.02...

One wheel I'd look at that you don't have pictured is the Mickey Thompson Classic Lock. They're very similar to the ones you show, but have a simulated bead lock look. I've seen them in person and they're nice looking wheels.
