Just make sure the caliper will clear the inside of the rims you choose. Some rims are a very tight between rim and calipers. My Soft 8's have about a 1/4" clearance....just enough for a nice rock to get in there and scrape.

Test fit before handing over the moolaaaaaa!!

MOABs work great

Want to say the Jeep is red,wheels are black,fellow did not have center caps.

 

[liberty84]

lol mine is red too....

 

[tommudd]

the mini van wheels was on here wasn't it? They were only 6 inches wide as well

 

[liberty84]

I think I found both....the stock steels painted black with the gray center caps look real good, might be what I'm gonna end up doing, but the mini van wheels gives it a little of a military look, I think he said they were $35 each lol, or I might be confusing it

hey guys I think I made up my mind and paint the stock steels black, so any tips would help, cover the tires with newspaper maybe???
for the ones that have painted the wheels, hows the paint holding on? I really don't wanna be retouching it every 2 weeks lol

Get them powder coated.

 

[tommudd]

Isn't that with wheel spacers as well ?

Painting wheels is like painting anything else , preperation is the key, sanding well, cleaning them really well etc will give you a paint job that lasts almost as well if not better than powder coating. Have to remember if you scratch powder coating , nothing you can do, scratch paint 5 minutes and its painted again.

Those 15" wheels will NOT fit with out wheel spacers
I had those from my TJ and they were not going to fit with spacers
I also tried to fit the alum. wheels from a Sahara ,what I have now
and they would not fit

 

[liberty84]

then paint it is, I'm gonna do it when I do my brakes, but also when it warms up cuz it's frigging cold outside
