With the knowledge that a significant percentage of all new Jeeps get aftermarket wheels and tires either before delivery or not long after delivery, why do they not have a steel wheel option to keep the cost down for those that are just going to put bigger wheels and tires on anyways?
Diesels are cool and I love mine. That being said, your use case will matter a lot in whether you will be happy or not.
