I'm ordering a 2013 sahara unlimited due to my 2012 getting flood damaged from hurricane sandy. I'm going to be staying pretty much stock and i can't decide between the 7-spoke polished aluminum wheel option and the 5 spoke sparkle silver (base). Now, i know a lot of folks will say don't bother and just get aftermarket wheels but i want to stay w/ either of those factory options and basically be done with it when i pick up the jeep from the dealer. I'm not looking to upgrade wheels or tires or put a lift on in the future, i like the ride of stock. Which one should i get?

 

Five spoke sparkle silver. Simple and not too fancy.

 

Those are really starting to grow on me the more I see them in person. When I had my 2012 I used to see Jeep's with the 7-spoke and wish I got them. Now it's not so easy. If only the new ones looked like they did in the press release it would be no question. I wonder if there was a problem with manufacturing the 5-spoke or if something changed from design - manufacturing because what's shipping with the 2013's sahara's look nothing like the renderings on the website or the press release w/ model change info.

 

I saw both of these in person when I bought my 13 last week. I was all set on the seven spoke until I saw them. Lets just say a little "blingy" for my taste. So I went with the base wheel and saved some money in the process. You also get the cool old school jeep logo on the wheel. A cool subtle plus in my book

 

I agree they do look "blingy." I keep asking everyone i know which ones they think look better and they all choose the 7-spoke but the people who have seen them in person seem to choose the sparkle silver. I admit the sparkle silver do look a lot better in person than in photos. The 7-spoke do look more expensive and less stock though.

 

I don't think mine look "blingy" at all. Kickass if you ask me, but everyone has an opinion...

 

Wow the 7 spoke rims in black look nice. They come from the factory like that? Myself, I like the 5 spoke silver rims. That's what my 2012 JKUR has and I love how they look. I don't like the new styles of rims on the 2013 models that's why I stuck with a 2012 model. But your right, everyone has their own opinion. So buy what you think looks best!

 

Those 7 spokes look good in black. I'm a big fan of black rims. I like the black sahara rims on the altitude edition but the black finish looks a little cheap and homemade. I would have expected a little better finish from a mopar rim.

 

I had the seven spokes on mine when I bought it, hated them. I tried to get them to swap for the silver 5, but the dealer refused. I ended up selling them to a guy that had the chrome package and silver 5 spoke. He wanted the polished look. I had already picked up a set of factory rubi's, and love the rubi's. opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one so get whichever ones fit your tastes the best.

 

Hah! Yes, awesome in black, no question.
