So has anybody thought about getting the quadratec wheels?

The BS is certainly better than the 6.25 OEM's for sure.

I made similar post a week or so ago. I too was interested in these. Guess they are too new and noone has them yet. For me it will be these or silver pintlers

I'm looking in black, gunmetal or machined.

I personally wouldn't spend that kind of money to buy something so close to stock. You could add $200 worth of spacers and get correct backspacing for bigger tires and save a bunch of money.

I would go with something like the aev pintler as the other poster said. It's resembles stock, but still very different.

With that said, they aren't ugly or anything. Just reinventing the wheel, so to speak.

They look like the obsolete Mambo MR1 wheels.

I like the idea of these having much better back spacing and still keeping that clean stock look. Cost wise I'd jump up to some Pintler's in Argent like mentioned. With that said, if going with the Qtec wheels, I like the dark gun metal color. I painted the OE Grand Cherokee wheels I run with a spacer, in a similar dark grey/silver. Stock wheels in that dark silver look awesome IMO

X2.

I like them. This is the first time I've seen them. I'm a big fan of the pintlers and the Savengre wheels but they're twice the price of these and IMO most aftermarket wheels are terrible. They look like they came off a spaceship or something. I'm running 1.5" spacers with my Moabs but I still rub the lcas at full lock.

Have you considered to paint the stock wheels and add some spacers? You could save some dough. Just a suggestion. But if you go with the quadratec wheels i really like the gunmetal!

Factory Moabs... Would they be considered machined or silver? I think machined but not certain.
