Can anybody tell me what these are or show me a picture? (God, I know nothing......yet)

Factory wheels on an 04-06 Rubicon are what guys put on their KJs

why? what size are they? big difference between these and the Liberty Limiteds 17's Dakar or Oasis rims?

I've been wondering what the big deal is myself, I don't get why they are so popular.

i think its just the look of them over the wheel offerings for the kj from the factory

16x8 aluminum wheel w/ good back space that usually can be found for a reasonable price w/ 245/75-16 MT/R's on them make them so desirable in my H.O. I also like the way they look on the KJ.

define "reasonable price"

Seems to me most people trying to sell them always wanted an arm and a leg for em.

I got all 5 of my Moabs/MTR's for $600.00 they were brand new and had less than 1K on them. you just have to look around.

These rims cost $130 each from online stores. They just look great, that's the deal with them. There are a few other pictures. If you don't like them, good for you, you can save your money.

I got one set for $500 w/ about 5k on them and another set w/ more miles but they were free.

Put it this way, go check out the price of those MTR's brand new at a tire shop for a set of five. Then look for the tire/wheel combo set from Rubicon owners that had to use "Balco" products on their Rubi.

A simple and easy way to get a great setup for off-roading.

Blackwall 245/75-16 MT/R's are $180 each. that's $560...for tires alone. for four.

I'm not a huge fan of the Moabs on KJ's, but there are worse wheels for it too. If I woulda stumbled upon a cheap Moab/MTR combo i woulda grabbed it. I think the 05-6 Rennie wheels are the coolest.

are those the 16" Cast aluminum Mineral Gray Metallic wheels? I see those in an old sales brochure and I agree they would look cool on my Dark Khaki Limited! Is it also safe to assume that it's easier to find larger/AT tires for the 16's than the 17" wheels?

I've seen most MOAB/MT/R sets going for about $300-$600 here in CO,some want a $1000 but after a couple of months they drop the $$$ to about $500.Keep a eye on CL and colorado4x4 board,sets show up every now and again.

I dunno what they're called, but they look like this

a set of Kumho KL71s would look rockin with those on a certain 02 Patriot Blue sport

I'm also partial to the 02-4 Rennie wheels

tjkj2002 · **Posted:** Sun Oct 14, 2007 8:41 pm

Personally I'm loving these rims over any others ever made-----

There a 2 piece double internal bead(uses a internal rubber piece similar to staun beadlocks) lock alloy rim that is DOT approved.
Full specs and such here--http://www.rockmonsterwheels.com/new398.htm

Oh and bring a deep pocket book,they start at about $450 apiece(and worth every penny).

KJ4ME · **Posted:** Sun Oct 14, 2007 8:45 pm

i can never seem to get lucky with these rims or tires so i gave up :cry:

DryBones · **Posted:** Sun Oct 14, 2007 9:00 pm

can those Rene wheels still be purchased through a dealer or anywhere else? Thinkin' they would go perfect on the Dark Khaki Limited! Give my wife the shiny wheels :lol:

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Sun Oct 14, 2007 9:18 pm

If you want to buy those Reny wheels from the dealer, enjoy the cost. I do believe they run well over $250/ea.
