Default New Wheels Question

I have a ’13 2 door Rubicon with a few extras & thinking about stepping up to 35’s. I like the simple look of a D-Window wheel in black & alloy. I’ve searched for hours over the last few days trying to find that combination in a 17 x 9, 9.5, or 10 with about 4-1/2” backspace. I find steel, 17x8, round holes (vs the D-Window), etc. but not the combination I’m looking for. Any ideas would be appreciated?

Check out the Pro Comp Type 52, they're steel, not sure if that's what you want. Black Rock also makes a d-window.

10 inch rim is crazy wide. You dont need more than 9'. I run 8.5's with 35's. You could do 8' with no issue.

I was going to point you towards pro comp as well, I liked the 98's, only all black rim I could find, way too many black rims have little silver or chrome accents...

And the rims were pretty cheap
