How, Where, and How Often do you wheel? Especially if if you are on the rocks a lot, the Teflon paint is going to chip with rock rash. If you wheel a lot, go with the Walker Evans Bead Locks, they are DOT approved IIRC. If it's just for looks either the Street Locks or ATX will be fine.
From experience teh ATX series clean quick and easily though.

Well since you are jumping hills, you aren't going to be running extremely low pressure in you tires, so you don't need bead locks. No rocks, so you don't need the rock ring on the street locks. But the mud just falls off the ATX's...

A lot of American Racing wheel sizes aren't on their site. Call a shop and ask. Their teflon wheels are on back order I think. They were having issues. I was told the Mojaves wouldn't be available till the end of Feb. at the earliest.
