KMC Canyon wheels on Sarge Green JT

[JonMN]

After seeing a lot of Sarge Green jeeps with black wheels, I decided to join the club. I wanted to keep my stock 33" tires. So after looking at a LOT of wheels and specs I went with KMC Canyon wheels.

The wheels are 17x8, with an offset of 35mm for a backspace of 5.88. This is really close to the stock Mojave, so no problems at all with fit. I wanted to minimize poke too, as we have messy winters up here and I didn't want to make road spray worse. Weight is not bad at 26lb.

On a minor point, I am liking spline lug nuts. Never had them before. The socket feels less likely to slip off the lug than stock.

Anyway, a few photos for anyone interested.

Looks good! I too am on the hunt for the right rim for my 41 color Mojave. I go back and forth with Bronze/Black, all Black, Olive Green Drab. Even looking at the Jeep 392 Bronze factory rims. Your all black looks really good, can never go wrong with all black IMO.

Looks great. I’m glad my 21 came with black wheels, but I’ll be swapping them out soon with more black wheels of course.
Where did you get the orange valve caps?

Here is a link to the valve caps. They have a lot of options on Amazon, but I made sure to get ones with a full plastic insert inside so that they don't get stuck with corrosion. LINK

Thanks! Have to admit, Olive Drab would be great. I just did not find any that kept the same, or similar, offset. Bronze does look good too. I thought these had kind of a combination of retro and modern look.
