I like the more open 4 spoke style myself.

The Iron Cross (left one) is over used. Go with the one on the right. It's pretty sweet looking.

There are not too many 14" choices for beadlocks. If you go to 15", there are many more choices.

Hey thanks everyone for your opinions, i kinda like the 4 spoke myself, and the reason i wanted to go 14" was so i could use the new 14" atv tires. if i go 15' i guess id have to use small truck tires? and theyd be rather heavy right? but i would be able to put paddles on too....hmmm theres always a trade off. maybe i should outline my list A and B choices and see what everyone recommends? because this has everything to do with the drive shafts, cv's, dics brakes, gearbox, everything whew its a huge juggling match.

It would actually surprise me if a 26" ATV tire was lighter than a 26" truck mud tire.

I'm guessing that there would be a decent weight difference. Truck tires have to be made with a much higher load capacity. Couple pounds a tire maybe? I guess it depends on tire style and manufacturer.
