I can't decide, April is the date for new rims and I literally can't decide between these two. Make up my mind for me.

I thought about getting these XD Cranks myself:

I have both, on my Jeep I have the DC-2 and on my 12 2500 I have the Cranks Chrome. Both are great wheels! The Cranks are a great looking wheel, easy to keep clean and shines to a mirror finish. The DC-2's are a rugged with a touch of style for any 4x4 and they are also easy to keep clean. If you stay in the mud go with the DC-2's, but if you like the street more go with the Cranks. This is just my 2 cents..

This is exactly the kind of feedback I like! Thanks! If I had the cash I'd buy both truth be told! Saw the cranks on a lifted 1500 a couple of days ago and fell in love!

Also the DC-2's have a 4.5" backspacing which pushes it outside the fender and the cranks have a 5" backspacing which pulls the tire more under the truck. May not matter, but if you run a wider tire 325/60/18 like I do, it does matter.

I voted for the XD's because I have never been a fan of two tone wheels in that style (machined stripe within spokes, or black chrome rotating lip). My personal preference is machined or painted face with a chrome lip, or all one color such as chrome or black. Plus from my exerience KMC make decent wheels.
