Default Black Rhino Wheels Question

I'm looking at buying a set (5) of Black Rhino wheels (Rockwell matte black) to put on my 2010 JK unlimited w/35's.

I have only seen them on line - so I don't know about the quality and no idea about durability??

Anyone have experience with them? What are they like for desert use?


thanks in advance!

I have them and I do love the look of them, but the finish is a little hard to clean as it is a matte finish. As far as fit and finish mine were okay, but not the most amazing finish.

If you are stuck on this wheel, then no. I know it doesn't happen much here in the Southwest, but the mud is the hardest thing to clean off. I just washed mine and I still have spotted wheels. That being said, even dirty, I still like the wheel.
