Default New Wheels for Billet JKU - Suggestions?

I recently installed my RK 2.5 Max Travel system lift and when funds allow I will be getting new wheels. I was looking for some suggestions for my rig based upon the color and such. Here is some info to help:

  • I have a '13 JKU in Billet Silver with a 2.5" lift. I will most likely be running some 35s on it.
  • I will be sticking with 17" wheels.
  • They may need to be 4.5' backspacing or close to it.
  • I don't want real shiny or chrome wheels
  • Will be sticking with aluminum/alloy, so no steel wheels
  • I like the black wheels, but wonder if they would need some hint of silver to accent them.
  • Price range needs to be less than $200/wheel
  • Not necessary, but the teflon wheels caught my attention since I read that they were easy to clean.

Please be specific on any suggestions or recommendations. Also, links or pics would be helpful as well.

Thanks!

AEV Savagre (slightly over your budget, but worth it).

Depends on your taste if you want more plain or flashy. I like the look of the ATX Slots personally, black with a polished simulated beadlock ring is a nice look. Click image for larger version

Look into Method wheels also. Probably my favorite wheel around right now and they have a pretty moderate price at around $175

I'm really partial to Method Race wheels. All of their styles look great

Do a forum search for "Billet Silvers" if you'd like to see different wheels on your color jeep. The thread is titled "Lets see those Billet Silvers". This was one of the places I used when I was looking for new wheels for my '13 Billet Silver JKU.
