Anyone else think the 2013 rubicon rims look bad?

there really not my cup of tea but in person they dont look as bad as i thought in pics but.....its kind of scary looking at the direction jeep seems to be going with the wrangler as time goes by...first the car interior,all the luxury crap and now the land rover type wheels...the whole point of the moabs were simplicity and the ability to take rock hits with minimal damage,these wheels clearly were not designed for this purpose..god forbid they build us the jeep to go with those wheels...

At first I thought they were ugly but the more I see them the more I like them.

aweful.....looks like something Jeep had designed and manufactured for the Liberty before they pulled the plug on that lineup and decided to just use them on the Wranglers instead.

I agree. In person they didn't seem all that bad. I still prefer the Moab's simplicity design.

X2 - I do prefer the Moab's but I don't think they look as bad in real life as I thought they did in pictures.

The cool thing is, for a while at least, We'll all be able to spot the 13s at a glance.

I am sure that hundreds of people here will spray paint, bedline, plasti dip, or whatever else is trending to give them a "color performance mod", and magically they will have a large following.

They don't look as bad as some of the other Jeeps at my local dealer right now. Chrome spokes anybody?

I just bought a new 2013 Rubicon today and much prefer the stock rims over the Sahara's polished chrome, too shiny for me.
