JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Bronze wheels on jeep jku

Copper metalizer plastidip was used to test the color on my gunmetal grey steelies. I'm going with XD 127 Bully wheels next in a 17x9 setup and painting the beadlock ring bronze. You'll only get this color with grey underneath. If you use black your color will be more copper and much darker. If you use white or silver you end up with gold.

Dig it! Reminds me of my dad's old 78 CJ-5.

I run the XD Bullys myself. I've had them since 2011 when I initially did my lift, tires, etc. Had the rock ring PC'd to match body color, or at least close to it. I've since put all sort of scrapes, scratches, gouges, etc. in them and they still look great! I've considered throwing a set of Walker Evans beadlocks on, but just can't make myself get rid of my XD's. They're different and not many people have them, even now.

So yeah....do it!

Looks really good! Im a huge fan of bronze wheels on performance cars. I just dont know if I have seen it on a jeep. Very well done.
