Default Narrowed Down Wheels Choices

After looking a ton of different wheels and trying to find some that would fall in my under $200/wheel budget I think I narrowed it down to these wheels. I have posted a list of the ones I am considering along with some samples pics that I have found.

What wheel do you think for my '13 billet JKU based upon these? Thanks.

Out of those you listed I'd probably go with the MB's. Stay away from the Addicts, those little accents are just plastic and break off easy...

With billet, I like the look of a black wheel, and from your list, I would go with the methods.

I do like the all black wheels (as long as they have some sort of silver bolt heads, etc.). However, it seems that a whole lot of jeeps are going with all black wheels these days. So, I was also considering wheels that either have machined faces with black accents or black with machined accents. Just looking for something slightly different, even if it's all black.

I haven't been able find a real world pic of the MB Wheels 352 machined face wheels (looks very similar to the Method NV wheels).

What do ya'll think about the MB 352 wheels with machined face and black lip/accents? I think it would look similar to the Method NV wheels shown in the pic. The Method NVs don't come in 17s with 4.5" backspacing.

Or just stick to the all black?

Finally found a real world pic of the MB Wheel 352 with machined face. It's a display pic, but at least its a real world pic and not a computer generated pic.

IMO XD Addict with machined face would look the best... which ones are the lightest? are any of them forged? Is there any other material (not construction material) difference in the wheels other than how they look?

So what do ya'll think? MB 352 or XD Addict in all black or the MB 352 or XD Addict with machined face for my Billet JKU?
