What would be the ideal size and offset?

They are nice looking rims. They both look relatively easy to keep clean. However if I had to chose one, it would be the American Racing rims.

I like the AR ones in Teflon.

The Motos look okay standing still. Not sure how good they'll look while turning, especially at low speeds.

The AR teflons are good. I have them (Mojaves, not Chambers) and like them a lot.

The Mojaves have less backspace than the Chambers. That may be worth keeping in mind if you're looking to increase your tire width.

If you are going for an offroad look, go with the ARs.

Rodster- those aren't Mojaves...but they are American Racing. Not sure of the backspacing on those, but on the Motos it is 4.5" which as we know is 1" less than stock so in essence the outside of the rim will stick out 1/2" which might be better for rubbing when I get 37's.

I have a set of the 951's on order for a project I'm working on. I do like both sets though.
One of my buds on our last Moab trip has the Mojaves and we did a trail with a lot of mud, water and rocks, and they got pretty beat up. the teflon comes off when scratched, but can be repaired. If he is reading this, maybe he can shed some light on this.
