Default Suggestions for rim upgrades on a 12 sport

Anyone have some suggestions on rim upgrades for a white 2012 sport with the stock Goodyear wranglers, preferably black and cheap but looks good at the same time. I was looking at the CRAGAR'S but they look too plain, any ideas?

I went with the black rock black steel rims on my 2011 silver JK and love them. Looks good and very reasonable on the price for all 5. I did also add a set of 33in BFG KM2 though. In the tires and rims for under $1500.

Any pics? I have a silver and want to see the contrast.

Thanks

You have the p225/75 r16 as the stock tires right? My suggestion is paint the rims and save up for tires that don't belong on a grand caravan.

Now I've really been thinking about it and might just save up for a bigger pair of tires and go all out with some KMC XD 18inch misfit's. Does anyone know the largest size tire you can put on with the stock ride height.

Everything I have seen says 33x12.5 with some rubbing at full flex but I haven't gotten an answer on whether or not they would rub at full turn on flat ground with different amounts of backspacing. There's a thread on here with people who have 35's with no lift but are getting fender rubbing when they hit speed bumps

I think I might go with the 33in goodyear wrangler silent armor the reviews sound pretty good, I think they should fit.

My next set of pre-lift tires is going to be 305/70r16 duratracs. I have some smaller duratracs now and have nothing but good things to say about them.
