Default So what wheels are everyone running?

Since the ever-popular MB72s are nowhere to be found anymore (I don't think they're even produced), what wheels are everyone running for 33-35" tires on their rigs these days?

There's a set in the for sale section if you're set on them

Check out Quadratec, I think they are selling the Mamba brand under a different name.

I saw them. I'm not set on them, really. I was just wondering what everyone was using. I've kind of got my eye on the Pro Comp 7069 in 16x8 (I'm going to be putting on some duratrac 305/75r16s, I think):

Pro Comp 7069-6873 - PRO COMP Series 7069 1-Piece Flat Black Finish Alloy Wheel with 5x5 Bolt Pattern in 16x8 Size & 4" Backspacing - Quadratec

Only thing is that they have 4" BS, and I'd really like to stay closer to 4.5 - 4.75 if possible. Mostly, I was wondering what everyone is running these days and how they liked them.

What size tires are you running? Do you have any pics? I don't know how I feel about the 4" BS on them.

I have been back and forth about 50 times. I had my heart set on the AEV wheels, but the cracking scares me away from them. I have decided to go with the quadratec gunmetal wheels when they are in stock in jan. they are somewhat the same as my stock moabs but have a deeper dish more like the TJ versions.

I really like them. and the price works as well. I looked at about 30 different wheels wanting each one i looked at, but in the end, the simple basic style won me over.

I ran some stock Grand Cherokee 17's I'd painted a dark metallic silver with wheel spacers for 4 yrs. Note this set up worked perfect. Finally fell in love with Method Race wheels. I really liked all of their wheels, originally wanted their 'Standard', went with the 'Double Standard' and couldn't be happier

It was far more difficult to find an black rims...

I really like the ATX slabs but their pricey
