Where is neither? I'm not a fan of black wheels on green jeeps, but to help you out (since I matter) I went with the bottom.

LOL, sorry but you only have two choices...one of the two is going on the Jeep, just gotta decide which one i want is all.

Possibly, but I don't really want to...what am I gonna drive while my wheels are off my Jeep?

Basically just looking for a different look, and my original plan was to change backspacing so that the tire sits under the fender instead of sticking out.

I like the aluminum wheels.

If you must change, the 942.

Gotta say I really like the wheels you have now. Sorry, just not a big fan of black wheels. What are you gonna do with the Eagle Alloys after you switch?
