Question Keep 'Em Or Sell 'Em

Ok im in a state of confusion on what i should do. I bought these almost brand new 35x14.50 Boggers a few days ago, well they've got these Mickey Thompson Classic II's on em 15x10 with 4" backspacing inwhich are like brand new as well that came with the Boggers.. So, i thought id ask you guys, especially those who has experience with these wheels, what would you do? Sell them and buy another set of wheels such as some Black Rock 950's like i been lookin at, or just keep them and run them?.. Im not always a hardcore wheeler and never been much on rock crawlin' so.. I know you all know what these wheels look like but heres a pic just to show how like new they are...

Ya know, sprayin em black has come to mind.. i got a buddy who powder coats stuff where he works so im always takin him stuff to do for me, i had pondered upon having him powder coat em for me.. And honestly i hadnt really thought on what id ask for em. i got all the centers and lug nuts. I did though check to see how much they were a piece and about everywhere is around $120 each.. Hell i figure $350 would be a reasonable price for em, if i do decide to sell them.

powder coating is nice but a little overrated , and alot more work to take the tires off the wheels , i would just tape off the tires and paint em , i work in a body shop and most everything i painted holds up just as good if not better then some stuff thats powder coated

Run them for a little while, if you dont like them, sell them. Rock Crawler wheels are super cheap too, so you might be able to make a few bucks on the deal.

Are you really thinkin about going through all that effort, They're not the old steel CJ wagon wheel, They be M/T classic II, one of my favorite wheels. They call'em classics for a reason. I say keep'em and run'em.

gotta love em, but they look good in black too, although polished was my first choice
