Default Which Pro Comp Wheels?

I have going back and forth between 2 different pro comp wheels: 7028 or 7089. My computer skills aren't the best so I'll have to describe.

7028: cast black 5 spoke simulated bead lock, or
7089: cast black cast black 6 spoke.

Please give opinions as why to choose one over the other. I want to go with shrockworks stubby front, rear and sliders. Also, considering a 3"FT with 35s. Thanks.

Does anyone know if the mock lock ring is cast in or can it be removed like Procomps other fake beadlock. If it is removable thats a big plus later. If you scar em up you may be able to just buy a replacement ring instead of a whole wheel.

You would also be able to put the silver ring on the cast wheels instead of having to get the gloss black wheel in order to have the silver ring.

I see you did not list the 7189 - I just recv 5 of them mounted on BFG 265/75R16's - Hoping to get them on my jeep tomorrow - I thought they were the best looking of the bunch - IMHO - good luck deciding!!!

I have the 7089 on mine but they look a little different, they aren't all black mine does have some metal insert look to it, but if your going with the whole blacked out look, I would go with the 7028, Take a look at my profile if you like.
