Default Attracted to shiny objects......

I hit the DTD and TireRack sites, and have yet to find a wheel that screams "buy me". Would love to see some bright or polished 17" alloy wheels that are not the norm. I have a '14 JKR 2-door/half door.

I have Googled. I have hit Google Images. Can't seem to find anything other than the typical American Racing wheel. Nothing wrong with them, but not for me.

What am I missing? Anyone know of a classic or unusual bright or polished wheel?

Oh, you are just looking at the wrong size! Search for 22", 24", and 26" wheels. You'll see all kinds of shinny!

The wheels below are shiny. But you can get any wheels powdercoated and do a brushed aluminum finish on it.

Thanks for the tip, as I was not aware that could be done. Your wheels look really good on the Jeep; so what I have learned today is that seeing static pics of a wheel looks completely different than a picture of them on a Jeep.....
