At first I was like, Alright! Jeep 1 Honda 0. But then I looked a little closer and I think we tied. Made a u-turn right in front of me, went under my winch and bumper and caught the wheel.
Here's my question, I have MB 72's and you can't buy them any more. How close is the Tracker 8 in looks, etc? I'm wondering if I can buy 1 Tracker to replace the MB 72.
If I have to buy 4, I'll be going with the TKO, since that's what I have as a spare. (Bought 4 MB 72's then went back to buy the spare and you stopped making them!)

The Level 8 Tracker and MB 72 are slightly different styles, more specifically, the MB 72 has a flat face where the Level 8 Tracker has concave/curved face.

Frustrating trying to figure out whats available and will fit right now!
I really wanted to go with 15" steel soft 8's with my 2014 2 door JK with no lift. After spending quite some time sifting through all the forum posts and topics on 15" steels, I am considering jumping up to 16" just to avoid the potential hassle the 15" could cause.
Really would like to grab these in the next week before a trip out west for some work I have in Utah on BLM along with a new set of AT tires
If anyone has recently taken the dive in 15" steels on JK and didnt have problems, let me know the brand! If the DiscountTire account is still active, hit me up, I have some business for you!
Cheers!

Is anyone aware of an updated list? I am having extreme difficulty finding any of the wheels mentioned in the original post. I also can't find much information on the newer 15" wheels and the fitment for JKs. It's almost like everyone stopped buying 15" wheels.

lot of folks did. 15" wheels aren't great at accommodating bigger brakes and steering upgrades that are in many folks' build plans. 17" wheels are pretty much the standard for most people. I think a lot of that had to do with 35s becoming the new standard....with several on 37s and the new "big" being 40's. There's so much rubber on the sidewalls these days that 15" wheels weren't necessary to get that wheel/tire sidewall ratio.
