Default Need opinions with wheels....

I'm having a tough time really finding a set of rims that I'm in love with for my Jeep... I have a black 4dr and have already decided on a lift and tires, but have been very indecisive about wheels.. Here's what I've attempted to narrow it down to.. What do you guys think and do you have any suggestions???


KMC XD766



KMC Rockstars



Moto Metal MO951 - Black w SS Rivets



KMC XD-SERIES 797 SPY



KMC XD-SERIES 778 MONSTER



Pro Comp Series 107

I'm a personal fan of the Rockstars, but as I learned early on here, they may not be your best bet to begin with. Atleast not if you want to wheel it. I naturally wanted to throw the 20" Rockstars on 33" tires and call it a day. But, it won't make a smooth ride, and pretty much hinders you from doing any off roading, and you'll probably end up with curb rash. For the rockstars to be viable in a 20" form, you would have to go up to atleast a 37" tire in my opinion. You could get by with an 18" Rockstar and 35's, but if your gonna do it, go big or go home

As for something that would look great on a set of 33"s or 35"s I would go with the Moto Metals, or the Monster

I personally love the Rockstars or the 766 Diesel's, my wife is about to buy a new tacoma and is already looking at a lift and Rockstars... they are my favorite, but its all up to what you like, and unless your gonna runa huge tire i would stick with 18's that way you can still hop curbs and whatnot without killing your rim....just my opnion though

do you plan on wheeling at all? i cant imagine any of these wheels going off road and surving. well they may be round but the chrome is going to die! if any i like the first ones...the simulted beed lock looks good for a "show" jeep
