Default Need input for decision on wheels & bumper

If I get these wheels:


I am gonna stick to my plans for this brushguard (I know 3rd gen but only pic):


If I get these wheels

that frees up enough cash to add this:

Just can't decide which idea I like best

I know the pics aren't gen specific but the bumpers look the same.

the one for "tow rig" looks sweet! i'd say get that or the the good rims first then wait till u can afford whichever u didnt get. personally i'd buy that bumper then save money and buy wheels when i can afford them.

Here is the deal personally I like the all black wagon wheels but I have had them on a bunch of my vehicles so thinking about something different, but I use them because thwy are nice and very affordable also the machining on the first ones might help break-up all the black, I have the dark brown color and all black front and rear bumpers but hey the all black may look awsome......

If the choice is between a real frame-mounted bumper or a grille-guard that mounts to the existing stock bumper, get the real bumper. My experience with the stock bumper is if you hit anything, it will just roll back and do damage to your front end. A big lever-I mean a grille-guard-attached to it will just add your hood to the carnage.

I think that what I am going to do is I have a full replacement rear ranchhand for a 3rd gen sitting in the garage I have not been able to sell. I "think" I have figured out a way to mount it if I can get it mounted I am going to go with the full replacement front bumper to match. If I can't get it to work I am just going to do the brushguard (it is frame mounted) so I have matching front and rear bumpers. It is only a couple hundred bucks difference between the brushguard and that bumer since it doesn't cover the headlights like most of theirs do. And I have the Black crystal headlights so I think it will look good either way.

On the wheels I am going to buy the top ones just for something different.

And I am going to get both now..........it's only money I can earn more
