Well, I bought new Falken Wildpeak AT4/W tires about a week ago for my Firecracker Red Willys Gladiator. These tires are awesome! However, I felt there was just too much black with the solid black wheels and tires. So, I was going to find a set of Rubicon take off wheels, but most came with tires or the ones I found were just too well used up and not in new condition. I looked on the Discount Tire website and found the Vision Legend 5 wheels and fell in love with the wheels. So, I will be going back to Discount Tire to get the new wheels put on with my new tires I just got. I am old school and love the old style mag look. I think these will look darn good. Being an older dude, I like this look for sure. What do y'all think of my choice? I took a picture of what they will look like off the Discount Tire website. Pic below! Thanks!

That actually works really well. Get a old Tube rack and come KC smileys and its perfect
Thanks PJ! Already have ditch lights installed and don't want to put anything on the roof as far as lights go. It still has to fit in my garage, and it is kinda tight now!

I like it, it's a classic look of old steel wheels with a trim ring and hub cap. It suits the Jeep's lines, but it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's your Jeep!

I like the look. Wish they came in more wide 44 friendly offsets.
For my application with the close to stock 265/70R17 tires, it should work good.

Yes, I like the classic looks of the mag wheels. Really like the old Crager SS wheels actually the best in a 14 or 15 inch size. Figured with the dark accents of the Willys, these would work well. And yes, it is ultimately my decision, however I thought it would be fun to see other's opinions on them! Thanks!

Not for everyone but I like the look. Funny though, I still like the old cars with the stock steel wheels with the hubcaps off with whitewall tires. I am showing my age here...LOL!!! Most younger people now a days like the all black wheels and that's fine too.

I love the 80's old school look! Was just talking to someone else about being inspired by the Back To The Future Toyota.

Do it! Post pics when mounted!!!
Will do and thanks!

Cool look!
I might have to revisit using Discount Tire again. I’ve never had luck with them for some reason. They opened a location close to me, and I have had worse luck there (compared to purchasing over the phone at a nearby store). Maybe third time will be a charm 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hope so. The store that I buy at and the guys there are great! Can't ask for a better group of people!
