Standard:

Upgrade:

Judging by the JL, the upgrade could be an additional $1000.

I thought about adding an "I'm going aftermarket" option but really just want to know which stock wheel people prefer.

I like both, but I can't see myself paying another grand for a different set of wheels.

Looking at just the wheel I like the standard. However when I look at the wheel on a truck with M/T tires I start leaning towards the upgraded wheels.

Yeah they look real good on a truck.

Are both wheels black? Are the stock grey or just flat matte black?

I prefer an after market. The only drawback is no one wants to buy the stock ones

I would not pay the extra for the upgrade. I will go aftermarket and get a much more personalized look.

I do still like the Jk Sahara rims.

I’m really up in the air about the factory wheel choice. I’m keeping the factory wheels with a 35 and a slight lift.. just can’t make up my mind ! I’m leaning toward the standard wheels. They have a more classic look..

So is the upgraded wheel really a better wheel.
Like is it forged vs cast?

The standard wheel has an ugly design. It looks like the factory wheel off a 1984 Cutlass Supreme. Yuck.

I'd go with the upgrade if it was free, and if not I'd immediately buy aftermarket wheels.
