Default Black Wheels - 5 on 5

What other black wheels are there besides the Pro Comps? I am looking for wheels that have 5 on 5. Just haven't been able to find too many. Thanks.

While they're not exactly back, I got a set of the American Racing Chamber Teflon coated wheels -- they have sort of a black/gray/blue coloring that looks great with my Steel Blue JK. I'd post up pictures, but I don't have them mounted to the rig yet as I'm waiting for FT to get in gear and ship my lift to David at Northridge who will in turn install it on so the wheels and tires will fit.

Here is a picture of the wheels from Quadratec's site:



I really like them. My only reservation is that they don't ship with a different center cap that although it is teflon coated and matches the wheel is not as cool as the cap in the picture.

I did go with the 18x9.5 size, but they also offer the same wheel in a 16x8 and 17x9.

I like the XD-122 Cast Matte Black Enduros. They are one of the few black wheels I have found that come in 16x10 with a 5x5 bolt pattern. Quadratec carries them....

Thanks for the input. I am looking for an alloy wheel. These are some good options. Some of which I hadn't seen before. Just trying to decide if I want an all black wheel or one with aluminum machined accents? I have a red 2-door.
