Default 16 or 17" wheels and tires?

Trying to decide on which ones to put new tires on. I have a set of 16" silver aluminum factory wheels and a set of the 17" chrome aluminum wheels. Both sets need tires. What does everybody prefer?

Depends on the the look and use you want out of a set of tires. For me I have the stock 16 rims with mud and snow tires on. It gives the truck a beefier look and ride.

+1 - 17"
I currently have the 16" Alum ones, and just bought 17" Chrome Raider rims...
Going to the 17" when I can swing the bill of new tires...
16" Wranglers are like new, but I don't like Goodyears!
All in preference/taste

Here is my 2 sets of wheels. The 16's are coated with plastidip so I can take it off if I want to. I am wanting to but around a 265/70 tire on one of the sets. In a all-terrain type tire.
