Default jlb 286 vs rpf1

ok so heres the deal a while back i bought one of the last sets JLB as a company sold and then they closed their doors, ive been sitting on these for a while now and after seeing everyones fender drama i brushed it off and rolled with it but now ive been gookin at rpf1's with a concave rear and im starting to really like them. the only issue is i now have invested in these rims and tires which are both still brand spanking new and in their boxes. so what do you guys think i should do?

should i......
- sell and try to flush even and go for the rpf1's
- keep them and style them out since i already have everything i need
- or should i trade someone whos willing to swap rim&tire for rim&tire



i dont know fellas im in a stalemate because i like both wheels, someone hit me with some common sense

so I'm guessing you never had the JLB wheels installed on your car? Not sure how "agressive" you are looking for, but I think the JLB wheels look great.

here it is











well here they are, overall im happy with the stance but im getting some rubbing when i hit big bumps and my drop is on pro-kits
225 fronts and 255 rear. i was really hoping that i wouldnt experience the rubbing but i am. and i didnt want to run a smaller tire in the back because the potholes that were born this winter are ginormous. ill try a last ditch effort to get an alignment with some camber in the back and if im still rubbin then i might move on to the next one
