Which rim do I choose ?? Need opinions !

I am going to put 17x8 chrome rims with 35" BFG tires on my 2.5" leveled all white 2005 4x4 Lariat Screw. Got it down to these to rims to avoid rubbing issues but can not decide which one to go with. Need your help deciding.

Sorry I couldn't get the pictures to post only the links.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I was leaning towards #2 also since it resembles the stock rim and I want to keep the truck close to stock with bigger tires and a wider rim with a little chrome bling. Just wasn't sure since it is a new design for 2006 and I had never seem them on anyone's truck. One more paycheck and they get ordered !


Thanks again for the input.

I like the Motto's also but they stick out a little far and seems everyone is getting them lately.

I personally like the eagle rim. I'm also looking for rims, my 4x4 has 18 inch rims and it seems there are very little in 18" , do I need to raise the truck for 20" rims?
