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. That being said I want these rims too.

Default Wheel

That Mopar winter wheel is really ugly. Stockton can make some but are way too much $$. So we still need a good solution to this.

Mute point. You can't buy wheels without rims. Or can you?

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.
