Wheels and tires question
It's your Jeep you make it how you want it to be. I would like some 20's for some WWII NDT's but they don't make any that I like nor doo any of them have the JK bolt pattern. 5on5" so good luck with your mods and decisions and remember it's when your not having fun something is wrong.

I think either of the 3 will go nicely with your plastic Brembo Brake caliper covers. lol j/k
Well, I'm only sort of kidding, but I'm also not one to talk about stepping outside the box for wheels and tires. lol
Chrome is really unpopular for Jeeps, but my biggest complaint with it, is the amount of time and energy it takes to keep it looking really good. I have chrome rims on my 73 camaro and they look great, but require so much work to really look good, that when I finally complete the project I'll probably end up going with black. I couldn't be happier with the black rims on my Jeep and it takes hardly any effort to have them looking great.

I only bought chromes cause my g/f fell in love with them. they are a huge pain in the ass to keep clean. I am sure a rock will eat them one day.

lol Oh I'm much worse than some chintzy fake Brembos, I'm rocking 22s. That's why I said I'm hardly one to talk. I'm a big proponent of if YOU like it, and it's your money, do what makes ya happy.

The 20s are probably not that popular as they are more for looks than they are for wheelin'. Unless you go with some monster tires (pronounced $$$!!!), you are not going to have that much tire to wrap around rocks and ruts and such on the trail. The more "meat" on the trail the better the traction.
Just for that reason I personally wanted to go with 15s, (plus I like the look) but just didn't want to order some and not have them fit. So I stuck with the
16s.

lol I've got them on 33" Terra Grapplers, which to me looks fine and isn't too rubber bandy looking. However on the 16th it's going for the upgrades that are in my sig. They're definitely not to everyone's liking (read I'm the only one who likes them around here, but luckily my vote is the only one that counts), but I've been quite happy with them. And they're black (as is everything on the jeep including the side markers, and soon to be key holes). Still, with 22s, I'm not trying to fool anyone into thinking it'll ever be a hard core rock crawler, but once it's got the 37s I do plan to tackle a few mild trails, since at that point I will have more sidewall than it came with stock.
