Looking for some styling new wheels. Been looking at 18" fuel kranks but if you ever looked at buying new ones you would know that's a little pricey so anyone know of any wheels that style for cheaper ? Thanks guys

MB TKO's are very similar look for 1/2 the price.

If you're planning on using the stock 18" Sahara tires you may want a narrow width and deep backspace so you don't grind those new wheels all to hell on curbs.

I have the Xd Addicts 17x9s not to expensive and pretty good to look at if you ask me.

I just put some TKOs on, and I feel ya on trying to save some coin. They were one of my favs and the price was right. Doing tires, wheels and lift all at once adds up quickly.

Yeah I love those tires though ! And yeah it's adding up little too fast lol. I want to get metal fenders too but you probably know as well as I do that costly. Thought if I could save on wheels have little throwing around money

I have those TKO's and like them. The center cap is plastic- we shall see how long it lasts.
With discount tire, i would suggest stopping in the store or calling. I found they gave me a better deal over the phone than what was listed on the web.

Looking at it now I'm still in love with the Kranks.. I have a black jeep jk so it want some contrast just not too ostentatious. The Kranks in my opinion have just enough to win me over. They're only like 50$ a wheel more than what I've been looking at but that adds up. Rubber's what's going to kill me 😪
