well what do you do with your jeep? you can get some fancy XD or ProComps if you crawl the mall (Not that you cant wheel them) or if you wheel it get some black steel wheels (see my gallery)

I can't offer much help - but I bet browsing the many postings of images would give you some ideas. Then you could PM the owners. You might also indicate what type of driving you do and any other info about your interest, price range, etc.

You have literally hundreds of options, narrow it down for us a bit with what you want?

What you need:

5on5 bolt pattern

4.5" backspace (room to grow with that)
