So, I'm getting ready to purchase my lift, wheels and tires. I've narrowed my wheel choice down to 2. I like them both the same. Price & size are the same. I turn this over to you for your opinions and your votes.

Thanks!

they both look good and quite similar but I think I like the look of the 7189 better

X2 I like it!

Its funny that I'm getting a different lean from you folks. I asked a couple co-workers (non-Jeepers) and they liked the 7105. It'll be interesting to see the final tally, but I sure hope its not 50/50.

X3. I think the first one looks less jeep and more F-150.

just a quick question..... why are a lot of people putting nice aluminum wheels on? i ve had my jeep 3 weeks now and went on one wheelin trip and already took ckunks out or all except the spare? yes for looks they are great, but what will you do if you screw on up? i couldn t replace a wheel for $150+ a piece everytime? don t want to start trouble, just asking a question.

Fair question. For me, this is personal preference. I don't plan on doing any rock climbing or being in a lot of situations where I might chunk them up. However, I'm sure after the first time I see a big ding, I'll wish that I had thought twice.

7189 any day
I’m just biased, I have the 8089 which is the same just more aluminum color on it..

I like the 7189s better. Don't know if you are trying to save a few bucks, but Piginajeep has some Procomp 8089s for sale. All 5 for $500 shipped. They have a similar look to the 7189s being black and 6 spoke. Here is the thread.

I also polled my brothers who are Dodge 2500 drivers with lifts and tires and stuff. They brought up a good poing that I thought I'd ask you.

Any of you guys and gals with aluminum wheels like these two here and live in a climate with a winter where the roads are salted and sanded. How do wheels like this hold up to that environment?
