Question new wheel opinions dc1's or classic2's?

i found a pretty good package deal and was wondering what you all thought on what looks best

http://www.ntwonline.com/40X13_50R17...17138C1194.cfm
or
http://www.ntwonline.com/40X13_50R18...17134C1194.cfm

both are the same price and come with 40" tires, but the dc1's are 17" and i would have to use spacers to convert to 5x4.5, and the classic2's are in 18", but i would paint them black

honestly for $1600 you can't go wrong with either

i was hoping that someone had pics of either wheel to post up (prefer a black unlimited, but any will do)

I have the DC-2's 17x9 with 33's. Not what you're looking for but I do think the DC-2's look much better than the DC-1's (but I'm a little biased)!!

I bought mine from the same vendor (NTW) and they are awesome to deal with and have a great deal. Tires and wheels arrived in great shape and ride great!

i dont see where the dc1's and dc2's look all that different

i'm liking the classic's but im not a big fan of 18's on the jeep(replacement tires will be more expensive), but then again with the package listed, i wouldn't have to run spacers/adapters either

i would prolly paint the classic's black if i got them(jeep is currently blacked out)

the 17's would give me more tire options later on down the road, (not many 40" tires in 18" sizes)

m/t outer lip is weak not a big fan of them. Also good luck with balancing those tires. not a very good tire that is why they are so cheap. I had my problems with 37's and others had problems with 40's something like needing 11 ounces in one spot. Good luck and that is a good deal.
