Opinions on new wheel styles..please!!

The time has come, $100 more to go! Which wheel do you all think.

I personally like the soft 8s (the third) the best but they are also the most common, be careful with the second ones as they are hard to clean and the fake bolt heads can start to rust quickly depending on the material...

D windows.
round holes are played out.
















that's what she said.

I'd go with the soft 8s

Just an FYI also, the faux beadlocks are a pain in the butt to clean.

i think you stole that from me, but put it in better terms

Oh crap
Didn't even read the thread.
Sorry
at least road salt isn't an issue for him, so the wheels won't rust like they do up here, right?

Haha no worries your sounds much better then mine does.
Yeah that may be one of the huge reasons they rust here in Ohio..

I like the D windows. I bought the soft 8's because budgetary restraints dictated so...

Thanks guys, I figured the middle ones with the "faux" bolts" would probably not hold up. We do not have snow, but alot salt in the air from being close to the water. It is a toss up...

It may be difficult for me to say "my libby, she is sitting on 4 soft 8's", I would have rim envie.8-[ ...What would they be when they are having a "good" time

I seen soft 8s painted the same color as the liberty and it looked good and differnt

Go with the D windows if they fit well. Are those the American Racing 7somethingorothers? Soft 8's has been done, hell, I have them, only because the price was SOOOO right and I knew that they would fit in a 15".

The fake beadlock ones are actually alot stronger then the others,that extra metal ring welded to the outer bead makes it stronger and actually better suited for wheeling,protects the valve stem better also,in no way means it will hold a bead better just a stronger rim compared to the other 2.That being said they are much heavier and dynamic balancing is out,there no harder to keep clean then any other rim(I know I had them for some time).

Simulated beadlock wheels are **** Numero 1 or 3.

I like the Soft 8s. Forget about what is "overdone." It's not a hit song on the radio, they are your rims. If you think they look good, who cares?

They are Black Rock steel rims, saw them from a web site from one of the guys on this forum...don't remember who!


Well...good input from all. I have another month before or so before the purchase...I am torn for now. Wish she could "try on" her shoes, like we all do...to see how they look on.

The Black Rock's,Cragers,and Unique Steel wheels are all one and the same with just a different name,all made by Unique Steel.getting the Unique Steel name form a place like Discount tires will be far cheaper then paying for the more popular brand name.

FamilyKj, I personally like the looks of the soft 8's best but that is just me. All 3 of those rims look good and you should get the one you like best.

Interesting, I will look them up....Thanks

Here is something from left field
rather than buy rims ,which the ones you have seem to be holding the KJ up just fine
ditch the spacer lift and buy 4 springs
I just dont see the need to replace the wheels on something if the tires you have fit
on the wheels you have
I like to spend my money on function not form
probably why my TJ looks like crap but goes where I point it
