IMO, leave them silver. They are such a good looking wheel it would be a shame to make them disappear by painting them satin black.

Also, are you using the JK Salta wheels that are on sale for $150 each?

Silver is nice, but I’m a big fan of theming. Satin black would match the overall red/black theme of your JT. Only silver you have is the trail rated badge so the silver wheels wouldn’t be totally out of place, but satin black would just fit the theme better.

Silver. You'll end up with too much black in that area. Maybe if the top and fenders were color matched, then black, silver, bronze, polished aluminum, etc... would go.

That's right, $150 per wheel for the silver JK saltas. Lug holes look enlarged for JL/JT - i'm going to test fit a lug nut soon to confirm

Love the savegres - they were on my previous jeep. When i got the gladiator, the red jumped out at me yelling "buy me buy me!" So i did. But in hindsight, while i still love the red, it's a little "loud" and a little "sporty." I think the savegres are also "sporty" looking, so going with something a little more "utility" looking to tone the sportiness of the red down a little bit. So maybe that's a factor too. Which looks more "utility", silver or black?

You guys are going to think i'm nuts, but the silver would look "work truck" to me, which i kinda like. Forgot to mention i blacked out the overland bumper and have a mopar grille

Silver definitely looks more utilitarian and work truckish to me too. I like the black wheels with all the black trim

in my opinion i like the silver wheels better,gives it a nice accent color,once you start overusing a certain color,it just gets played out,so for me id go silver since it gives it a little twist
