Wheels
 
I'm having trouble deciding on wheels... I'm going with a 17" for sure and will run either 35" or 37" tires on them. I have a black unlimited so i'm looking for a wheel with black in it but I don't want a completely black wheel. Based on pricing I have narrowed it down to these two wheels from mamba

mamba 2's

mamba 3's

i think i'm leaning towards the mamba 2's but im not sure how i feel about thesilver extending onto the lip of the rim... hm...

any thoughts or other wheels to consider?

the 2's dude. i like the flat spokes and you see more black than silver as opposed to the 3's.

nice wheels by the way!!

Between the 2 choices
 
I would pick the mamba 2's :yup:

have you considered a smaller chrome wheel. i think a black jeep is the only one which chrome wheels look good on.

something simple and uncluttered. i think the black and silver sometimes makes the jeep look a little too busy if ya get what mean.

just a thought.

:yup: x2 on the 2's

they look like they'd be easier to clean the muck out of too!

I vote the 2's as well :yup:

Just so you are aware, if you are going to be running a 12.50 wide tire, you may need to get wheel spacers to run these wheels since the backspacing they come with is 5.25 in. You really need about 4.5" of BS to insure that you won't have any rubbing issues. :)

I vote for the M2's. :yup:

The mamba wheels website says the backspacing on the mamba m2's for the 5x5 bolt pattern is 4 3/4
