LOL, why mall crawling? Can't you go off road with them? I'm not going to do "rock crawling", that's for sure.

Yeah you're right, I thought about painting the stock maybe "plastidip" them.

Stock wheels look great plastidipped and if you like them you save quite a few bucks!

A lot depends on what the specs are on each, width/backspacing etc. Without knowing that who knows, cause its doesn't matter how they look if you can't turn your wheels :wink:

The first set backspacing is 5.905", the second set is 5.98" and both are 17"x8". I did googled them specifically for a Liberty 08-12. Hope this help

I'll let someone else comment on the backspacing, but for the size of rims, you really want to stick with 16 inch rims for two reasons. You'll find the ride more comfortable and there are much more choices of tires in that size.

I like 1. Option 2 is just too similar to stock. My only problem is I wouldn't go larger than a 16" rim, but that's also because I wheel my KK and prefer more sidewall. What size tires do you have now? 8" might be too wide for them. I personally wouldn't run anything under a 245 with an 8" rim(some will say different). Even that is the limit, I'd rather 265 or wider.

Neither in my opinion. Get something that you won't care so much about getting dirty or scratched like a steelie. Lots out there in our wheel size plus I bet they're A LOT cheaper than your choices.
