Rubicon Factory Rim Question

[DanW]

My Rubi has the black rims with the polished aluminum in it. It looks like this but they are black, or at least look black. I"m looking to pick one up on Marketplace and it is the same rim, supposedly from the 20-23 Gladiator Rubicon, but the pic posted by the seller looks grey. So my question is, did they make a black and a grey version, or is the photo just making it look grey? (Or is it actually grey and in real life it looks black?) Any help is appreciated, as I need to get this ordered and get a spare on this Jeep. I prefer to do a 5 tire rotation, so that's why I'm going with this instead of a steel rim.

Thanks!

That's what came on my 22 Rubi and I'm 99.5% sure they haven't made that wheel in grey with polished aluminum, only black. When I zoom way in, that picture looks like the wheel has water spots.

Yeah, I see those spots, too. But it doesn't appear to have any road rash, which is good.

I'm still debating, but I think I want to do a 5 tire rotation instead of 4. But if I went with 4, I'd probably look for a used tire for the spare. I hate the idea of paying full price for a spare that likely isn't going to be used.

It is tough to tell much from wheel pictures but there is nothing wrong with that one from what I can see either. If you are happy with the price that should make a nice matching spare.
