Alright guys and girls...........I'm looking to get me a new set of rims for cheap. I would hold out for MOAB's, but I just don't think i'll be able to afford them this year. :( :( So, I'm gonna go to the next best looking for my jeep. I found Cragar Soft 8's and American Racing black steels. I'm gonna go with 16x8 w/ 4.5" or 5" of backspacing (I dunno which backspacing yet.....please look and post what you would recommend!) Please, look at the pics above and help me with my selection and if you DO have either of these rims, let me know how you like them, and post some pics as well! Thanks for your help in advance!

I think guys have been more sucessfull with the 16x7/4.5. I like the look of the soft8's better myself.

ok, well if it helps, to clarify my post, i'd go with (and most likely will soon) the cragar soft 8's so that's 2 to 0, if you're counting that is....btw....nice echo.... :shock:

Why are you holding out for some Moab's????? SHOP AROUND. I just picked up 5 take offs for $250!!!!!!!!!!! Took me a few days of looking on various websites in my area as I didn't want to pay for shipping but didn't mind a nice lazy 2 hour drive.

Tell you, these Rubicon Moab rims really made a BIG difference in ride and looks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
