Default Which one would win Brawler Rockers or Rocker Knockers?

So I am looking at getting either the Brawler Rockers (comes with the body armor) or the Rocker Knockers (body armor bought separate). They would both be about the same price if I bought the body armor with the Rocker Knockers.

Which one would you get? Why?

I will be honest. I bought the Rocker Knockers based off the looks. I think they look better. The Brawler Rockers look like they could withstand more abuse but I think either pair will do the job. I pick mine up from the powder coater today.

Yeah I would have to agree with you. I like the fact that you can have the insert painted a different color if you choose to. What did they charge you to get them powder coated?

Same with me. I liked the looks of the Rocker Knockers better and I felt like they would be easier to keep clean on the inside, the Brawler's are more enclosed.

The Brawlers do offer more of a step I that is of interest to you.

I had the Rocker Knockers (4 Pieces) coated matte black and inserts coated a silver. I had the JK Body Armor (2 Pieces) coated matte back. I was charged $100. I was pretty satisfied with that fee. Same place coated my brawler lite bumper and crusher flares for $300.
