If you can put something red on the sides of your truck to match the red on the XDs then I think that would look slick as hell. Maybe a red Trail Rated emblem?

XDs get my vote plus I’m sure it pops better in person.

Edit: I just realized that yours is a Rubicon so you already have the red trim on your hood letters and trail rated logo. Looks perfect to me with the XDs!

I currently have them for sale. I just can’t decide between the two sets of rims and tires
Copy that! Im going to be going for the 17x9 version with 35`s, those 20 / 37`s are a little much for me, but im sure theyll sell quick.

My 2 cents goes to the KMCs. Think that little red ring accents great against the blue paint.
Usually I’m not a fan of red that’s why I got a Mojave but the red accent ring on those with a blue jeep looks good
I like the KMC's but I am late to the discussion. I was going to say if you use them don't add ANY more red. Its a nice contrast but more would be overdone in my opinion.

I like the Patagonia tires, but the ridge grapplers seem to be a bit quieter and smoother on the highway.

Factory tires and wheels. But I'm not a fan of huge tires if you aren't rock crawling, they just look goofy to me, but I seem to be in the minority on that.

Between all of the colors and hardware, the KMC's are a little busy IMHO. But that's not to say I don't like it!

Top. Though I'm not terribly fond of the anodized red accents.

Im in agreement with this. Im a big fan of the blue truck with the red tow hooks and a few red accents.

Trying to decide what I think looks better between the kmc xd137 with 37/13.50/20 nitto ridge grapplers and the factory rubicon wrangler wheels with 37/12.50/17 patagonias. Lets Here your thoughts.

The factory rubicon wrangler wheels with 37/12.50/17 patagonias. Lots of nice wheel options out there - personally I like the Black Rhino Armory wheels, but so far stayed factory Granite Crystal machined on mine and changed out the tires. It's personal preference; wouldn't fault a JT brotha for either choice.

Factory with spacers to push them out a bit. I prefer more sidewall and and not a huge fan of the tri-tone kmc.

Love Nittos but would never do a 20" wheel. My Trail Grapplers are heavy but I prefer that for wheeling personally. Not because I like heavy tires as such, but because they weigh so much partially due to thick sidewalls. It's a lot harder for a sharp rock to rip through the massive sidewall. It's all a trade off.

Now for the red - it's gonna be a no from me. Personal preference, but I am not a fan of shiny red on wheels.

Of the two, Option 1 all day for me. No offense to anyone, but those are my least favorite JT/JL stock wheels. Way too common.
