Default Which Wheels

Boy Im having a tough time choosing wheels. It was easy on all my trucks,just buy Weld. Now since this is my first Jeep im confused. I kinda like the AEV brand and Mickey Thomson classics which are a little plan looking to me but I do like them. Then there are the black wheels out there,im am so confused

That's a tough one that I'm battling myself. There are too many choices but I never liked what everybody else has. Keep looking at the magazines, catalogs internet and something will pop out for you. Actually, there is no battle here because the boss said NO to them all. I will get them eventually but might as wait until spring to decide. Salt eats them up here. I have the stock Rubicon wheels on mine but want something different now. Good luck!

R U a 'spoke' or 'bullet hole' kinda guy?


For spokes (my fav) I like the Pro Comp 1089's



And for the holes you cant go wrong w/ the MT Classic II's



If its black you want MT has a new one - the SideBiter - IMO bad a_s



Good luck making your mind up.

You can get this pattern in a variety of finishes. I went with the cast black (flat black) 7089s. 16x8s with 4.5" BS, 33" tires and 2.5" BB makes for a well-matched set-up for trail:

I had to kind of laugh; all the pics you posted were 6 lug designs. I know you can only pull pics that they have on the sites, but made me laugh.

I really like the stock Rubi rims. I just hope my tire guy doesn't give me a hassle when I ask him to mount 35's on there.

I agree, I also love the stock rims.

I like the way big tires look on em too... almost stock, but "better". With aftermarket rims it's _obvious_ something's been done, which to me isn't as good Gotta make people wonder why it looks so good!

I am sticking with my black soft 8s. Not scrating my wheels is the last thing I want to be thinking about when I am wheeling.

Repeat after me. See rock, run over rock. See rock, run over rock.
