Im about to buy some wheels for the KJ but I dont know which ones I should get, I like the Soft 8s but thats just about what everyone is running and I kind of want something different but I dont know how the V-5s will look on the KJ

What do you think?

Cragar Soft 8-like everyone else

OR

Cragar V-5

Be different.

You should post a pic and see if someone can photoshop both wheels onto your KJ.

If being different is your focus and these are the only two selections, go with the V-5.

if you want the V5's look you could just paint the stock 16" steel wheels black. They look awfully close.
Why not drop some real money and get the AEV Bridgers?

Of the 2 listed I would go Soft 8's though.

I am honestly not a fan of either one. But that is just my HO. I am not sure what the big...draw to the Soft 8's is.

I dont think they are bad looking but its the price that really got me, its hard to beat $50 a wheel

My wheels,the same as soft 8's(unique steel series 297) were only $50 each(for 16x7) at discount tires.

Nothing at all against the soft 8s but I would go different just because you can, but Soft 8s are like belly buttons (almost) everyone has them

Sorry, but I can't make a decision for you. I say go with the photoshop idea, and decide which YOU like best.

I dont know how much discount tire is but Summit is the cheapest Ive found and I would think that discount tire might be about the same price you just wouldnt have to wait for them to come.

and for the center cap I was thinking about getting these (b/c Im cheap and these are $10 less than the cragar ones):

Cool, I saw a TJ with the V5s on the other day, they are really cool I think. I'd consider them on the next jeep I get. Looking forward to the photojob.
