Default ISO Wheel vendor

Who do you suggest for a good place to purchase wheels. Maybe it's cause I am on a mobile device...but I can't fight the list of sponsored vendors. So maybe some people or even a vendor can chime in. I don't want to spend a ton but also want to spend enough to look good and honestly I just need some structured website to look at I think, somewhere with lots of options that I can narrow down for my black jk

Discounttiredirect.com, I think northridge might sale some. Quadratec. Or you could just go thru whatever wheel manufacturer you want.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. Obviously I'll go with whom I want though . When I figure out who that is
second question: what offset would be optimal for 35's or 37's. Back spacing I figure should be 3.5-4.5 right?..not sure how offset translates though on a 9inch rim, I noticed some sites only list offset

35's should have 4.5
37's should have 3.5

I went have Spyderlock wheels. Are you looking for a beadlock or a traditional wheel?

Traditional,

im going to run 35's for the first set since I don't want to run 37's until I re gear. That said...I can run 35's on 3.5 back space right? And then I won't need spacers to go to 37's. Or am I thinking about that wrong?

You will be fine on 35's with 3.5 BS. The wheel should be 9" wide such as 17x9.

I meant directly thru the manufacturer of the wheels you decide to go with. If you want method sometimes it's easier to go thru them. Raceline has a nice selection and I can get you a great deal thru them right now.

That said...as I look...I have yet to find a wheel with 3.5bs. Always 4.5-4.75.....although I enjoy modding vehicles...I've always despised the wheel shopping.

I don't know too many traditional wheels that have the much. Beadlocks I know do
