Default Rescue Concept Rims on Rubicon 4 door

Check this photoshop image of a Rubicon with the Rescue rims... anybody know where you can get wheels like this? By the way, this truck does not exist. I modified a stock Jeep image to get the look I wanted.

Ultimately, I was thinking of going with a 4" lift suspension lift with 37x13.5R17. I don't like the tires too wide. I like em taller.

hey nice photoshopin. The thin vs. thick tire thing will never go away I suppose. But sometimes floatation is all you got.

I would love to see some steelwheels like the rescue concept. To me all the steel ones I see still feel too much like the white wagon wheels my dad had 25 years ago.

Yeah, I was looking at that Rescue concept some more, and then I was looking at some pics of old Willy's and realized that almost all of them had that same look -- the body-colored solid steel wheels.

I had this same idea a few nights ago -- I think it would be cool to get some solid steel wheels (if they exist in the right dimensions -- the old one's all look like they're about 3.5" wide), hit up DCX for some Jeep Green paint, and have them sprayed. Is this a really bad idea for some reason?

They're beadlocks of some sort. May or may not be on the market (probably not), but you get get the general look with a set of beadlocks.
