I found these listed for the TJ Rubicon on TireRack. They're 17X8 with 5.25" BS with our bolt pattern unlike the photo. I think they look pretty cool. I just put new tires and wheels on mine, but I'm already thinking about these once I've put a good amount of wear on my current tires. Anyone running these now in something like a 265/70R17?

Well, I really liked similar set of rims before, and I thought they would look great, but after that I saw a few vehicles around with this type of rims, and thought they looked toy-ish. Although these look a bit better, I would consider getting all-black version instead.

How much are they?

They're $166 each. I would want to see one for real before buying them, even if it meant purchasing one and returning it if I didn't like it. I usually replace my tires every 2 years (I love new tires), so it would be a while before I would get them. Just wanted to point them out as a potential wheel. I'm not found of solid black wheels, but like the 2 tone look.

Allright, if you could return them that's a good thing I guess.. :) But buying just one won't work, you should get two or better yet get them mounted on some tires, same size as yours, and then put them next to the jeep and post pix. You should get an idea of how they will look.

Also there was is a simulated pictures on TireRack but they don't show these wheels as compatible with KJ so we cannot see a picture. :(

Here's some that look close, but they are from American Racing

There's a really cool site http://www.autowaretech5.net/nextwheels/bigo.htm You can 'test fit' a bunch of different rims and tire sizes here.

I've used that utility at a store before. After seeing how bad the American Racing wheels look on it, I don't know. Here they are together. I still think the Mamba is a much better looking wheel than the AR.
