Default Wheels (opinions needed)

I am up in the air on the material for my wheels. I thought about the Cragar Series 398 Chrome, but I don't want something blingy. I've got a 2 Door Flame Red (no lift). I really wouldn't mind something similar to the OEM wheels as far as materials go, but can't figure out what that specific type of finish is called.

At any rate, what do you guys think is a good, non-black colored wheel type that isn't flashy? Also, very little off-road use is done with this one.

Thanks

Brian

For good looks, not black and not flashy, I'd say pick up a set up Rubi pulloffs. They can be had for a decent price and I think they look pretty good.

Brushed or Polished Aluminum would give you the kind of finish you're looking for if you want to stay close to stock(ish) materials. You could also go for Painted Aluminum if you want the grey or black look.

Like others have mentioned, there are several threads relating to different wheel finishes and looks in the "Show and Tell" Section.

It's all about your personal taste. Personally, I'm looking into a flat black alloy wheel with a touch of silver or gray. Does everyone else like it? I don't care. It's MY Jeep.
Your set-up sounds like it would look good, though.
