Weight can be an issue with steel wheels. Unsprung weight is our enemy.

Thanks! Yeah the steel wheels are a little heavier than alloy but really not by that much. I know some serious rock climbing guys stay away from them because they can get mangled up easier. This Jeep won't see that stuff and mileage won't be an issue. We will see how it all comes together when the Jeep gets here! Hopefully the picture in my head works in reality.

yeh , hey you can always add color accents to really change the whole look if it dosn't right? but black caps on those wheels and black lug nuts will add contrast for sure . looking forward to seeing end result if there is such a thing as end
keep us updated on the new jeep .

nothing like a brand new jk sitting out in the driveway or garage the first night ! youl be sitting in it at 2 am checkin chit out, when every one else has gone to bed even .
