Got a new jeep and I would like new wheels for it. Problem is I'm not sure what I like. Does anyone know of a site where you can try them out for looks? I think american racing has such a tool on thier site, but I didn't like the way any of them looked on my wrangler. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

There are guys out there that run 20" rims and low profile tires and think it looks good.

Others run scratched, dented, rattle can painted steel wheels that get used. And think it looks good.

I'll give you an opinion on what "works" well. But, what looks good? Way too personal.

heres what I have and like BTW....
though they aren't a good choice for the things I use them for because of the construction of the wheels.




the same thing happened to the alloy wheels i had on my full size toy, now it has the black wraped in 39.5 IroKs along with the other look... low and trimmed  with big tires. (6" suspension w/2" body)


ya, I know It's not a jeep, we're looking at wheels right?

Take it to the guy who installed the front track bar drop bracket from your buddy's rig. Bet he could make it look even better.

Nothing wrong with the way your wheels look. Even if they're not 20s.

Couple years ago, I never would have thought black steel wheels could look so good.

Some Soft 8s, D Window or Wagon Wheels. They're cheap, strong, work and look good.

There, you sucker'd me into giv'n a looks opinion.

Mike,
Tirerack.com has a tool available where you can view their wheels on your type of vehicle, you can even pick the color of the vehicle.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I have found a set of wheels that will look good on my TJ. They're Pro Comp Xtreme's. My TJ's color is burgundy and the black finish and chrome outer ring looks good together.

Again Thanks Everyone,
Mike

Does anyone know who makes the wheels shown on page 27 of the Sept. 2008 JP magazine.  Specifically, the Toyo tire ad, shows these wheels that I cannot locate.  They look sharp!
