Why, why, why??
I bought an el-cheapo set of 5 steelies with tires for a whopping $50. I'm going to drive around with them and see what happens. The unsprung weight goes from about 75 to 50 pounds and the diameter is reduced. So I should see better acceleration and better gas mileage. Yes, the Rubi wheels/tires look great, but I'm a geeky engineer, so I couldn't resist the steelies for experimentation purposes. Maybe that other guy is also playing with his Jeep.
