Thanks. I do like they are aluminum vs steel for the corrosion resistance here in Michigan. If they had the chrome version when I was looking back in 2020, I would have gone with them for the complete 80's look. But I'm happy with the white wagon wheel look.

Dang, didn't know they came out with a chrome version. Hmmm...

Just me, but I prefer function over appearance.
And I really like that first pic of the BL KMC's
Reminds me of when I owned a Hummer H2 truck thing. I tried to build it for off-road (It was marginal...Very marginal) I noticed many folks were adding gaudy chrome to the trucks which made them awful in appearance.
There seems to be a hint of that with these JT's
Having said that, it's just my opinion and I think if you want to wrap the thing in burlap and paint the wheels and door handles pink, go for it.
And that is what makes us a free society, the ability to express oneself. But, by that same metric, others are free to share their opinions.

There are a lot or jeep that never leave the pavement. I personally never understood it and would never waste money on accents to make it look pretty. I like my jeep to look good and I take it off road and bounce it off rocks, but I do keep it clean and looking good too.

I couldn't agree more, here is my Jeep out in the wild, the photos were from a photo shoot that the two companies I used for a large part of my build did for marketing. I take my Jeep out every chance I get.

A jeep without pinstripes, a dent or two, or mud stuffed up everywhere is totally underutilized.
