They grew on me too, but they are worth top dollar at the moment. Sell them off and buy a used set of moabs and have the moabs coated and you'll still probably have a few bucks in your pocket from selling them.

Sell them and get aftermarket with a better offset...

That what I would do IMO.

They look like a PIA to clean.

X2....I do like the little Jeep on there though.

I'd make the trade with the dealer if you can convince the wife...

They look like a toy and not like Jeep rims...
But then, I don't have to confront your wife...
Getting larger tires will make different rims necessary...

I look at those and for some reason I think of an old Hot Wheels car.

honestly, I'm not a fan of the new Rubi wheels. For me the stock wheels wouldn't last long anyway in favor of a set of aftermarket wheels.
