Default Which Wheels for a silver Rubicon

Need some opinions, Looking for new rims, (cannot afford beadlocks)that will be able to take a beating on the trail and still look good on road. Looking for something black or mostly black. Any suggestions?




I found these and I could put a rim protector on when I am wheeling, does anybody have any pics of them on a jeep.

Pics of other wheels would be appreciated.

Thanks

Those look cool. Leave the ring on all the time though.

Check out my pics in the link in my signature. I have the 4 door JK and LOVE my rims. I get compliments ALL the time. These are XD Series Addicts all black with just the spokes in machined silver. Looks great.

Eagle Alloys 140....they call them Super Finish Black, only because of the black highlights. But they do make them in all black.

I love the looks of my Rubicon wheels, but if I were to replace them it would be with Argent AEV Pintlers. Probably the non beadlocks.

I have a silver Rubi as well so I'm very interested in the replies on this thread. I've been leaning towards the MT Sidebiters but I haven't searched the forum yet to see if anyone has them (and if they have held up).
