The cragar series are tough wheels, ive had a set of black soft 8's on my Nissan for about 3 years now and they have been through mortal hell and havent bent or busted or hurt them at all! They are tough. Ive been pondering on the same thing for my Jeep, id get another set of soft 8's, but i dont want to have 2 4wheel drives with the same wheels on em. My two selections of wheels are the Black Rock D-Window wheels, or the new Black Rock 950 Lobo's. But considering the D-Window wheels along with Soft 8's are everywhere now days, i do believe ill be going with the 950's.. Diffrent is good!..

Where Im at there is no Moab, death valley, or rocks for that matter. So no worries about scuffing wheels, unless you cant park.
Each to his own.

I like both the 950's and Soft 8's hell I have soft 8's and there freaking sweet.
I dont agree with this I wheel in michigan where you could go in to a pit and not know whats at the bottom and sometimes there are rocks that demolish alumimum rims. who knew theres rocks in michigan 
That makes sense. I was just pointing out that the soft 8's are every where and on every thing. He asked, just threw in my two pents.

Its not like we wheel in Moab. That was my point. A steel wheel would not protect any better or worse then an aluminum wheel. That topic has been discussed/argued many times. It always ends up a matter of opinion.

My reasoning for picking steel over aluminum is, if one gets damaged, its much cheaper to replace. Plus, i'm not worried about my jeep being pretty. It's already got custom "pin stripes" all over it from scraping random things, lol. 950s it is, thank you everyone for your input.

When can we expect some pictures of the 950's mounted?

I'd have to say the Black Rock Series 950 from the choices you provided. You could rock some silver soft 8 rims. I did because black rims are so overdone.
