Do you guys not like the looks of your OEM wheels or are you looking for something wider and/or with a different offset?

Btw, the Rubicon wheels look surprisingly good painted black and you can just do a quick touch up if you get some rock rash on it.

I'm not a big proponent of the black wheels though unless its on a black jeep. Its so trendy. Look through the black wheels thread on here, its ridiculous how many people have done it. You have a more unique Jeep if you leave the wheels stock.

I like the machine faced finish with the silver paint. Its monotone like the black jeeps with black wheels.

Actually, I think the OEM wheels look great. I'm just a bit nervous about running spacers, although I know I shouldn't be.

Yeah, a small, quality spacer is nothing to worry about.

too bad hutchinson doesn't make a wheel like their rock monsters that aren't actually beadlock so they are cheaper and not so heavy. They look fantastic on silver, here they are on on edwin907s

I have been trying to find something that looks like them for my black jeep

I have been running stock wheels that are bedlined, with spaces and 35's. I was looking to add a little width, that was why I was going to get new wheels.

I think I might stick with the stockers and try the new 37's on them, maybe it will work fine.

It's not that I didn't really like the stock wheels, just wanted bigger tires and didn't want to rub. I will be getting a lift someday, but until then I've never been a fan of running spacers. I'm with you tho......never have really liked black wheels, but I do like the black highlights on mine. And visa/versa......if the black wheels have SOME silver coming through then they aren't too bad.
