Default AEV Wheels

Got my first jeep and looking for some good wheels to buy when I lift it. I always bought Weld wheels for my trucks but not seeing any on jeeps. I like the looks of the AEV wheels but im wondering about the offset and quility? Not sure if they are too far tucked in for me or not. Is the quility there??

I bought mine because of the back spacing. The quality is good except for the powder coat on mine i here they have fixed that problem.

i hate to be the negative guy..but i dont understand buyin such expensive wheels for a jeep...A) they are not some crazy light weight 3 piece design B)they are going to scratch when you wheel and ruin the finish...i just dont get it guys..get some cragers or stick to stock..IMO stock wheels with an oversized tire looks the best!!

To each to there own....I am crazy about the AEV wheels, as they change the look so much...have the right back spacing...great quality...the only scratches on mine are from the rocks that are unavoidable when wheelin...I like stock too, I keep my stock wheels for winter, but I also like to be different....I also don't think they are that expensive....

AEVs are on my wish list, but they are pricey. I like the valve stem protection, and you don't have to run wheel spacers like the stockers.
