It's not a matter of hating it's a matter of preference. I love all Jeeps, just not all of the wheels. Ill pass on the new ones, there not my taste. Glad I "had" the Moabs, but like most already changed them!

i am not saying they are really ugly...i am just saying they look like they should be bolted to a land rover...but since jeep seems to be moving that direction anyways i can see why they are going that route,hopefully this is not a glimpse at what lies ahead for the next model change and they build us the rig that goes with those wheels....

I see nothing exciting about those wheels. They do not look sexy or slutty. When comparing to women these wheels lack one thing no curves.

The reason I've changed my initial thoughts regarding these particular wheels is because I believe they make the Wrangler look more appealing across the color spectrum in various combinations. If you compare, side by side, using White for example, with and without painted fenders and top.... the Moab's vs. the new Cookie Cutters, I think you will find the reason for the change.

Not that I believe they're the best shape a designer could muster up, the color hues of the new wheels work better with all the optional colors - especially white and black, which arent really considered colors.

Functionally, they are better than the Moabs because typical 5-spoke wheels are mud collectors.

I have to admit that when I first saw just a picture of these new wheels I didn't like them; however, after seeing them in person the other day at the dealership, they're actually pretty nice looking wheels.

I'm officially going to retract my statement. The more I look at them the more I'm digging them....especially the black or powder coated wheels. I'll tuck my tail between my legs and quietly back out of the room now!!

Yeah they tend to grow on you.... an all white JKUR looks awesome with these wheels.
