Default Which Rim Should I Keep?

I just bought some barely used all terrains to hold me over until I lift the jeep and put on bigger tires. I'm running 30's right now and plan on moving up to 31's... possibly 32's if it looks like it'll fit w/ minimal trimming.

Both rims are 15x7" and unless I move up to 32's I'll be keeping 1 set of rims (you need 15x8" rims for 32's, right?)

The old set of rims has countersunk holes for the lugs and the new ones have regular lug holes (see pictures below).

*Am I better off keeping the countersunk rims for the bigger tires to prevent bashing the lugs on rocks? or does it really not matter which set I use?

Just trying to think ahead before I sell the rims.

Old Rims w/ countersunk holes:




New[er] rims:




As a note - I needed a deep socket for my breaker bar to take off the rims w/ countersunk holes, but any socket will do for the newer rims. This just shows how deep the holes are.

keep the canyons, they're wider and have less backspacing. and they'll look better.

The newer rims looks great...
You can sell the old ones and buy some other parts that you might need...

The ten holes look like the wheels they used to run in baja/dezert racing.

I plan on selling them but I don't have the post count yet - shoot me a pm if interested. Shipping will be a pain which is why I might just craigslist.
