Default 17" MB 72 Wheel Pics?

i have a white JKUR and am wanting it to have a more utilitarian look like the JK Overland from a few years ago. i currently am running 35" BFG KM2s on silver 17" AEV Pintlers. i have debated the mopar winter steel wheel, which i really like, but just don't want to deal with spacers. i am thinking about getting 17" MB 72's in black and rattle canning them white. i've seen a few pics of the 15" wheels, but not many 17"s. any pics of 17"s would be appreciated as well as any tips on painting. thanks in advance!

What about the Crager 69 Series Deluxe? That has a very utilitarian look.

i really like those! that would be perfect, but i want to keep my 35"x12.5 17R BFG KM2s. they only have 5k miles on them. it doesn't look like those crager's come in a 17". if so, they would be great!

any other recs would be appreciated as well!

I have the mb72 in a 17 and I dig the look. Looks like classic steel but you get weight savings and rust resistance. Very worth it since my last steel rims started to bubble from rust in 2 years.

Not sure what condition your pintlers are in or what your plans are for them but PM me if you are interested in selling them and are willing to ship.
