Which Wheels?

Aite guys I need some opinions, I am looking to get a new set of wheels to put on my ride. I have searched around and found some Pacer black Steelies that i like but I also found some Pro Comp Alloys 1079 that I like. Pacers are cheaper, I can get a set for 200 dollars thats lug nuts center caps everything, I could get the Pro Comp wheels for bout 365-380, these are the wheels u can buy the "fake beadlock" for I plan on running the black beadlock with the chrome wheel. I am always up for saving money but I want my truck to look good too. So I need some opinions! Which wheels do you guys think?

I'm getting the pro comps, hopefully this week.



Pacers are nice... but pro comp is proven offroad.


The wheels are $215 out the door at four wheel parts.... lug nut kit, probably $50.... not to bad.

I would imagine the alloys weigh more i believe they weight 17-19 pounds a piece. So you think the steelies would look better?

If you get the procomps dont add the simu-lock. All I think of are all the mall-crawling lifted chevys driving around on 20''s..ugh. Those things are only good to protect your rim.
