Is Black done? Considering Satin Aluminum or Bronze on Gator JT

[Rusty PW]

Black is played out. Everybody and their brother has black wheels. I will be getting Trail Ready polish aluminum beadlocks with the blue rings. Why be like sheeple.

Very nice. $600+ per wheel is some serious coin.

That's for the cast rims. The forged rims are $1,000 each.

Might as well. In for a penny, in for a pound. What size and what tires? Ide love to go with the MT Baja Pro

The 17x8.5 with the 4.5" backspacing. Tires will be the Cooper STT Pro in 37x13.5-17.

Guess I’m in the minority here. Literally HATE Black wheels. Looks like some damn meth feind or crackhead had to pawn off their hubcaps to score a hit. They don’t look good on any color.
They just make vehicles look like they rolled unfinished off of the assembly line.
Matter of fact, for anyone in SoCal or the Central Valley looking for some brand new Mojave wheels, throw me some offers so I can see what I have to start with shopping for some Tan or matte Bronze. I may end up having to powder coat in the end but the following pic is probably the best looking wheel I’ve seen in some time. Just wish it were Tan or OD.

I was tired of black wheels also. I went with Quadratec Recon wheels in gun metal gray. Contrast looks good.

I was never a fan of black wheels. If I do wheels on the JT they will be Method Double Standard in Machine finish. But the red rims are catching my eye.

I'd take black any day over nastyass silver wheels. Looks like bare metal no one had the time or money to paint. Silver looks lazy to me, not black lol. Though as I posted above, I'm partial to color matching and Black Rhinos. Now if only I had a LOT more disposable money...

I vote for what catches your eye. Worry less about what others opinion is or what matches your socks…

But you must accessorize!

I've debated changing to bronze several times, but the gunmetal gray are hanging on . I've also never been a fan of black as they all look the same from more than 20 feet away. However, I've been told several times my Jeep would look badass with black wheels ?. So it really is personal preference.

From a design standpoint, the two colors that are used to compliment Tan is Blue and Corral.

A coral or umber would look awesome. Think rust or red clay for non design people.

How about the BLACK RHINO SOLID in Gator green?

That is fantastic. I'd paint the center cap as well, so the lettering is black. It seems to take away from the utilitarian look having the "rhino" so bling bling branding. I'd pay more.....a lot more, if these did not have lettering/branding anywhere on them, not on the rim, not on the center cap. Since that will never happen, I'd still run these.....after painting the center cap.

I have black method 701s. With my Gator. I did Icon Titanium colored and I just never really cared for it. I thought about bronze but it’s too close and too different to look right in my opinion. So with the Gator I’ll probably stick with black wheels.

Fits well with all the other matte black details. Could argue that for anyone with the unpainted hard top.
