Default Your opinions please!

Well this is my first jeep and I love it so far, I haven't even barely had chance to look at it because of my work schedule it will be a 3rd play vehicle for now. From what I read most don't seem to care for 20" rims however I have 20" rims on my hummers with 33" tires and I can't imagine a smaller rim on it, we are quite used to the look and get tons of compliments. So my question is what do you think of this white jeep? I may set mine up similar to it but with a small 2" lift these are the 20" kmc hoss with 33" mickey thompson atz's, does it look stupid/to streety looking? or look ok? and if not what do you recommend???? Opinions greatly appreciated !

thanks
Jason

If you are taking it offroad at all don't do it......stay 18 at the most, 17's are even better

That looks like a (bad word) in a really bad way.

Seriously Jeeps are OFF ROAD vehicles. Smaller rims with bigger tires allow the tire to flex and conform the the OFF ROAD obstacle better and they give you better traction not to mention a taller side wall give a smoother ride on the street.

I'm thinking you might be a lot better off in a Hummer.

do you think it looks bad? or is it more of a personal preference? or just a big no no in the jeep world?

Well I'll say if you think you will ever get a good complement from another jeep owner that your 20in rims look bitchin you have a better chance of winning the lottery

I dont get it why are bigger RIMS better and not more tire? Hows that rim look nicer then the same rim in 17in or 18in with a more meaty sidewall which of course is better for offroading?? Are you looking to fit in more with the non jeep h2's h3's tahoe's and escalades? I've always wondered WHY they need those big wheels with no sidewalls that ride like bricks cuz you can feel every little bump
