I lean fairly strong toward the factory wheels, but I'd not hate it either with the others. They just don't feel right. That's my opinion based on my tastes.

I can't get over how good the stock wheels look. I'm going option 2 all day.

Yeah I don’t like the rims, that red accent is just odd. So factory.

Agreed... maybe the angle/lighting is bad, but it looks like your tires are WAY outside the fenders in the KMC pic.
They do stick out pretty far. It’s a 12 inch wide rim with a -44 offset

Curious how the steering is between the two setups as offset is not something I have seen discussed when it comes to steering before.

No problems with either set. I just did a 2000 mile trip with the KMC with ridge grapplers and it was great. My biggest problem is the amount of dirt and road grime that gets sprayed on the side of the Jeep.

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.

XD's 100%.... there is another blue gladi running them on this forum, I saw it under a "show me your wheels thread" it looked great. Although, I would run them in 17's. not 20's.... I guess it depends on their purpose, but you can still style with 17's.

I like the look of the rims and I think the red is kinda cool. If they made them in a 17x9 or something close with less offset I would be swayed ;)

Too much poke with large rims just reminds me of South Beach mall crawlers with chrome all over... IMHO

Looked through your other pics as well. If you're wheeling every weekend, you'll probably want the stockers. But I'm still digging the KMCs if you're looking for a different looking JT that stands out.

Two different flavors for sure.
