if i HAD to choose from one of those two sets it would be the Cragers.

personally i prefer a more classic 5 spoke, which crager does very well.

I would definently go with the cheapest, because they look the same to me. I'm not trying to stir you up just being honest because I definently like the looks of those rims. You might also check out Eagles if you don't mind aluminium(sp) rims.

between those two the Us wheels. They look more define. However I would go with a set of Weld rims. I am looking for maybe a set of scorpio vS. I think they look awesome polished up. But they discountinued them. So i gotta find em used. Just a thought

Can you get the right backspacing with either of those? I think I looked at the Cragar's before, and I don't think I could find a BS that would work for me.

As said before, they look the same. Go for price. I had a similar set on my last truck for several years. Just have to keep them clean or they will rust. Prefer aluminum if money is available.....
