Plus, they're a great looking OEM wheel.

In addition to that, base model X's take on a completely different look with a set of Rubicon take offs.

if you have 17" aluminum rims then they are the same as the rubi, but like everyone said its the tires.

Yeah, the X model S pkg wheel is the same wheel, but it has a painted finish rather than the machine faced finish on the Rubicon wheel.
