    Everybody and their brother seems to have the first ones. The second ones are sweet. But FWIW if everybody didn't have the first ones I'd like them as well. They both look sharp.

    Take into consideration of the weight difference between these 2 wheels. The Konigs in an 18" weight 21lbs and the 17" weight 19.5 lbs. That KMC/Ultra/ Insert cast wheel here weighs 30+ lbs. That rotational weight adds stress to ball joints, reduces gas milage, and shortens brake life. The Good year duratrac tire is so popular because its quite and it is a fairly light weight tire. A konig / Duratrac combo in a 33x11.5 weighs in only 15lbs more than your stock set up.

    If you went with a Cast wheel and a Nitto Trail/Terra Grappler Tires in a 33x11.5 the combo would weight 100- 110lbs. Food for thought!

    Since I've never seen another vehicle with the mb's on them I think I'll stick with them for now. May upgrade at some point in the near future to the konigs, but right now, the additional 300 bucks the konigs would cost can be spent on other things.

    I definitely prefer the counter steers...the MB's are a worn out look. Everyone has them because they're cheap. Personally I couldn't afford the counter steers and went with level 8 mk 6....similar to counter steers imo but cheaper. I love mine and they are super easy to clean.9871c1bf0c3f45c2800d9c35f965222f_4449bf74ad1f455cadb9a113b13311e7c30517ea.jpg
