Looking at new wheels. I like the black look on my Jeep, not sure I want to go steel though. Wheelin is being replaced by DD and lots of camping. Heres what I have been looking at.

That was a tough choice. I like the black and silver look, but went with the outlaws. I went to 4 Wheel Parts the other day, and every 4x4 had bead lockers on them.

It won't be anytime soon, but I think I'm going to do the same. Worse case is I'll have to put the old wheels on to get the ticket dismissed.

I liked the V Stars, so I voted for them.

This is very true. I came close to going this route. They were $50 each and the one's I got were $100 each. I went with the bling.

I picked the Granite alloys.

IMO, soft 8's are Zzzzzzzz.....boring, too many wheels with holes in them. I'd go with the V-Stars before the 8's. IF you're sticking with steel wheels.

The Outlaws look like they came off of an old S-10 Blazer. Sorry Mudd not my cup 'a tea.:rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with a little bling.:D Especially if it is driven everyday, not just wheeled.

That was my other choice. The Outlaws remind me of centerlines, which I have always liked.

Still not sure what I'm gonna get. Mine are really rusted on the backside and 1 is leaking air where the center is welded to the outer.

Do you have a "Discount Tires" in you area? Maybe they have something in stock.

I'm still undecided on steel or aluminum. There are advantages and disadvantages to both

I went with the alloy and everyone said that was bad. Alloys break, steal bents, fire burns, water wets, wind blows, sand, hmmm what the hell did sand do?
