are these identical wheels other than LE is all black?

Do they have the same offset/backspace?
IMO yes, either wheel can be ordered on a Rubicon. It's in the sales brochure and I checked with my salesman.

lmao, so they're not even special wheels? They just come standard on the LE, but EVERYBODY can order them?

Oooh look at the difference on this JK I just saw. Notice the polished lip? Looks like jeep just keeps polishing different parts of the same wheel and calls em new..... Maybe that's not so different from a wheel manufacturer. I prefer the LE wheels.

Somebody needs to price the #6 wheel from Jeep - it should be cheaper since it doesn't need the extra step to polish, right?

On a side note, looks like they did a better job matching the Gator paint color on the door illustration...

It doesn’t say “available”, just standard on LE. Maybe they will offer it through Mopar or other special editions
part number is 6kc881xfaa
