Default Which wheels?

I'm looking for the muscle look. What would you guys get?


Crager Street Star

OR


Weld Pro Star

The Crager is chrome, the Weld is aluminum. I know the aluminum would be easier to keep looking good. I'll need to do the 5 lug conversion. Any perference? Any idea on what backspacing for a 4-eyes? The Weld has 3 optional backspaces, not sure on the Crager. Any thoughts???? Thanks!

Cheers...

My vote is for the Cragars, but they both do look very similar.
