ID:	358729Just got the wifes new 2013 Rubi in on Friday. Had NO CLUE they changed the wheels.
At first glance i was NOT HAPPY ... i guess because i wasnt expecting it! The plan was to powder coat the Moabs black, and then i see these

After having it for the weekend and seeing it out and about, they are starting to grow on me ... but i cant decide. My dealer said he would trade straight up for a set of MW3 edition moabs that have already been powder coated black like i wanted. I was stoked! BUT, the Wife said she really likes the new rims

Tell me what you think, i need some outside opinions!

Personally I'd trade for the moab's, but if it's your wife's Jeep and she likes the 2013 wheels...keep them or you will never hear the end of it.

Dang ... 50 views and only 3 responses

Forget what the wife thinks, what do you all think of the rims in general?

personally I dig 'em. I think that they are a good break from the wheels you normally see. that being said if the dealer is willing to trade you straight up, then you might want to do it if you ever plan on upgrading to non factory wheels. it seems like the general opinion is that most people don't like them. so come resale time you may have an easier time and get more money from the moabs. just my 2 cents.
