Two ends of the road.....
cheap and not so cheap
Usa vs china
Weight is close within a few lbs of each other

Racestar....no option yet for a actual skinny on front
Racestar....no option for wider or different offset
Racestar....no option for beadlocks

Bogart...built to however you chose

Lots of guys running the Racestar 17's. There are several trucks with them in the 1320wheels gallery if you are curious how they look. I presume you are wanting a 15/17 combo for tire choice and brake clearance since you don't want a skinny wheel up front?

5 lug opens up more options and not limited to race stars

But again you dont care to run a skinny so truly no reason ro go 5 lug
