I wash my jeep every week and will do before I will put those fugly steel wheels plus I like a clean vehicle.If your factory wheels get corrosion but you actually take care of them,take it to the dealer.They will be covered under the corrosion warranty.

Yes forgot about Freaking Dogs peeing on the rims....that will eat the clear away on the aluminum rims!!!! That is another big pet peeve for me! I would love to see some type of system that would give the dog peeing some big electric shock! Nothing worse after cleaning your vehicle and you see a stray dog walk up to your nice clean vehicle and lift his leg!!!

The OP has the Moab Rubicon wheels. They are alloys.

The stock steel wheels are 16" wheels. The Rubicons are 17" wheels.

The difference between the Rubicon Wheels and the X wheels (if you have the S package) is that the X wheels are painted "sparkle silver" while the Rubicons are "machined face"

Other than that, the wheels are the same size 17x7.5.

Hope that answers your question.
