I'm looking at the Mickey Thompson Classic II and the ProComp 1069. To me they look about similar with the MTs having more of an egg shape to the holes. I'm tending towards the MTs as I like the look but they are $25/wheel more than the ProComps. Not a big deal in the whole scheme of things I'd imagine. Thanks for the help

M/T Classic II Wheel have a little more flare to them.. I would choose those.

You're always going to pay more for MTs, but they look super tuff. And really, what's an extra $100 in such a money pit as an EB?

Easy, structurally, the MT's are 10x better than the ProComp wheel. If you have it narrowed down to these two, I would go with the MT's for sure.

If you're going for a 15" wheel I say go with the Classics, if you're going to a bigger wheel - like 18" or 20" I think the pro comp will look better IMO.

I had the MTs and loved them, they look really good with a mud terrain tire. MTs get my vote

The M/T Classic IIs look way better on an EB. I think the others look to modern for an old truck.

What tires are you going to run that determines wheel width. I run 37x12.50 on a 9.5 wide rim.

The MT's for sure, the flat face on the pro comp looks bad compared to the dish of the MT's. The dish shape also gets into the holes, which makes the thickness of the wheel show on the outside edge of the hole vs the inside next to the lugs. The Pro Comp lack a lot unless it's just a glance. The MT's have been my favorite wheel for awhile, next to slots. Pretty rare to find a wheel that looks good on newer and old vehicles both, but that one does. The last set I had I bought the Eagle version, and the holes were just a little smaller. It don't sound like much, but made a big difference in person, even though you couldn't hardly tell to look in the pictures. Either will look good on an EB, though.
