I was dying for a set of these also but they are not available in the JK bolt pattern and even if you did buy adapters the dodge rims are pretty narrow which limits the tire choices so i decided against it. The rims the one guy is referring to are the mopar winter JK rims which look similar. that what i ended up getting. They are 17" by 8 or 9" maybe. they look real cool in black.

Haha...you know I had to look this up...it is different and I feel kinda dumb being a motorcycle guy. A wheel has three parts: rim, spoke or body, and hub. And "rims" does appear to be an urban slang term for wheels. My Jeep most definitely does not have anything on it I want to refer to with urban slang. So my jeep (not car) has wheels (not just rims)
Haha. That being said I want these rims too.

You mean "moot", not "mute". In the dirt bike world, you can buy rims, and you can buy wheels which include rims. Typically, we buy wheels for our four wheeled vehicles since they're cast or stamped/welded as one piece.
Calling a complete wheel a "rim" is urban slang and technically incorrect.
