Okay Guys: My Last Wheel Opinion Question

I have decided on two wheels:

1. Rock Crawler from 4wheelparts: Total including installation (lugnuts, etc) and balancing is $350.

2. AR172 (Baja) I really got a good deal on these: Total including installation (lugnuts, etc) and balancing is $485.

The difference is only around $135 if I get the Aluminum. I really like the Black look on my rig but its hard to pass on the Baja. I am really having a hard time deciding. Can you advice and try to pursuade me which one I should get. Please include not the obvious pros and cons on each wheel.

Also, For the Steel Wheels. Will the steel wheel affect gas mileage, speed, and driving (vibration)?

Are you buying them for wheeling or street use primarily?

Both. For now it will be mostly street. Do not forget the "look" factor of it.

Steel for off-roading and aluminum for street use.
