When I saw a '13 Rubi at the dealer last week, my first reaction was that it was pretty highly stylized for being on such a utilitarian car.

I don't think I mind, though, because any stock Jeep wheel, really, won't hold up that well to abuse and rock/brush scrapes. The steel wheels on a stock JK won't, the aluminum wheels on the Sports won't, and the Rubicon wheels (which were pretty much the same as the sport wheels until '13), are equally susceptible. The Sahara with its chrome wheels is kind of funny...clearly meant for the city and looking clean. The styled wheels just don't look as rugged, even though they probably are. My thought--just run with them until they incur enough damage to annoy you, then swap them for a good offroad wheel and a set of new tires. Or, do it right off the bat!

 

I didn't like them at first either but now they're growing on me... They're still coming off when I go to bigger tires so....

 

At first I felt the same way, but now I think they look slick.

 

In my opinion, they look better then the 5 spoke polished aluminum wheels they used previously. They scratch way to easy. These new ones look stronger, and are less flashy.

 

After seeing them in person, they're not as bad as I thought. They look really good on the billet colored JKs.

 

Nice jeep and btw I was torn on them when I saw pictures but now I like them since having them.

 

Ouch, that's a good looking naked Jeep - I even like the wheels on it, I can't believe it.

 

Is that Crush? Some of the pics of Crush and Dozer kinda look the same, depending on the lighting... I love both colors, but I went with Dozer. I get lots of compliments on the color! Can't wait to strip her down!! :-D

 

I like em a lot. What I don't like is the Sahara wheels, without the painted inserts. In the early literature, the centers were painted a little darker than the machined finish. That looks MUCH better than the complete machinedk look.

 

They look better in person.
