Silver vs. Black Wheels
I'm deciding on a lot of my first major mods right now and for the most part this is purely cosmetic, but regarding wheels:
I have an '11 JKU Rubi 4 dr, all black. I'm probably going for a 2.5-3.5 lift, 35's. I have other questions that I'm trying to figure out on that front, but on rims: what are people's opinions on steel/silver (or variants) wheels and going to black? If I had a not-black jeep, I don't think I'd have a question and go for black wheels, but I'm wondering if an all black rig works or if a little color (or really, not black) would add a little? I've searched through the show and tell pages and everything else on here and I apologize for posting a cosmetic question, but I'm just curious on opinions. I go back and forth every day, but I'm about to pull the trigger and order new wheels, so it's getting towards D-Day.

You are where I was about 3 months ago. I searched this forum, others, and the web over for pictures of black unlimiteds with black wheels of every variety. I think ALL black jeeps look great. I ended up going with a combo black and silver. IN the end, its completely up to you. The best is what you settle on not what others tell you to do.

Alot of guys are going with black wheels these days and don't get me wrong it's looks good but a little color looks good too.... As for me I have 2 set ups. Black for winter(Duratracs) and a Mickey Thompson set up for summer where I painted the bead lock ring..... Go Steelers.

just plasti-dip your stock rims for now! That's what I did. $20 and a few hours of time is all it costs. You can peel it off if you don't like it. Or you can leave it on for a while to see if you like a black rim on your jeep.
I like the black rim. When I go to 35s, I'm going to keep the stock rims for now and I'll respray them.

I like the black on black look.
