The listing is for set of 4 16" rims for US $337.00. I checked around these wheels go for at least $175 to $200 per rim.
He seems to have decent feedback, I wonder if these are replica or not? They seem OK?

What do you think?

There either not a wanted item or cheap knock offs(most likely),and they don't list any 16" rims that will fit on a kj,the smallest is the 17" rim.The KJ bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 114.3mm.I be very weery about them.And I agree with ProgectKJ,they look rather ugly.Just go to a Discount tires and get the Unique steel series 297(soft 8 style),you can get them in 15",16",and 17" with a 7" and 8" width and get all 5 for about $100 less then those rims.

you mean cragars? They don't work with stock TPM

I would love it. Plus I don't have any lift.
by the way I checked the rims on other spots like discount wheels etc.. they were about $150 each.
Anyway, thanks for the info,

Unique steel makes the steel wheels for Crager,procomp,and American Racing,those companies just rename them.To bad the TPM's doesn't work with those rims,can't beat steel rims.

What's the big thing about TPMs? They have made tire pressure gauges for years and they don't freak out when you drop the pressure off road.

I can see it everytime on my EVIC. Don't need no inaccurate gauges.

Just because you have a digital display doesn't make it anymore accurate. For instance I haven't seen one of the fuel readings yet on a Lib that was accurate.

Yes, it has nothing to do with digital or analog. I don't have to get out and check it in the winter or while I am driving I can see if I have a flat before it causes a problem as it drops on the highway.. but anyway it's your choice not to have.. I like mine and would like to keep it. If you had it, you would wanna keep it too..

If I had any of that digital display crap I would find the fuse and pull it out hopefully disabling it. Just because it tells you a tire is two lbs low is it always accurate? I doubt it. To me that is just some more electronic crap to go bad.

But to your wheels Call Discount Tire some or a lot of what they have is not on the web site
