I'm running the black rock 909 d-window aluminum wheels in a 17x8. I love the classic d-window look with a little bit of a modern materials twist. There's a couple more pics in my gallery.

Thanks, I got em pretty soon after they came out. They have a few more styles now and they've expanded their steel wheel line-up as well. Just remember to keep an eye on backspacing to reduce any rubbing issues. Most lifts recommend 4.5" or less to fit a 35x12.5, plus the wider track looks loads better.

I like more traditional wheels like the mickey thompson classics. I have been debating on wheels for a long time. I have 16s on my yj with 38s I have 20s on my ford with 37s and for the jk I think im going to get 15x10s with 33s im going to go with the classics I just like the look of more rubber. to me it makes the tires look bigger and the rig look taller.

Never could get into the black rims because I like the contrast between wheel and tire. Most the time you can't even see black rims unless you are right up next to them so I don't understand the appeal....

I went with these polished aluminum alloys w/ black highlights. They don't look as shiny now but still love the looks of them...
