Finally, mine come with the 17" and no Fog and Hook. The dealer receive the notice for the pacakge change yesterday..... After 3 months of waiting, I will took him like it is... I just saw him after work today and it look well with the 17". I'll pick him tomorrow and I have to wait for another set of winter tires...
By the way... it's not an Unlimited, is a 2Dr X...

I'v got the 24s pkg (2-door). 245s with 16" painted alloys. Build date was very early Feb. '07. I actually like the wheels. Tires are also a little cheaper for the 16s.

I confirm.... Mine, who arrived friday, have the 17" (255/75R17) wheels instead of the 16" (245/75R16). It's a change in the S package. No tow hook and fog light. It's not an Unlimited but it's probably the same thing for the Unlimited...

Picked u my 08 X (S pack) recently. It was sitting on 16" alloy rims with the 245 street tire's. The dealer said they are a factory replacement, and I got a $200 credit for them, since i was expecting the 17's that came with the S pack. But they are something of a mystery, as they are not featured anywhere on the jeep site. 
Fine be me really, they look fine, and i understand 16's are cheaper to buy bigger tires for anyway.
