White Retro CJ, Quadratec, Wheel Pics

[jnett]

Does anyone have pictures of a Firecracker Red Gladiator with the white retro CJ wheels from Quadratec? I’m looking at purchasing these wheels but keep going back and forth on how they will look.

They look good on that. Really gives it a retro vibe, which is what I’m hoping for.

I've seen lots of those on Wranglers / Gladiators in photos as well as in person locally. The only Jeep I saw that they (in my opinion) didn't go well on was a yellow JK (was just the shade of yellow). I think there were some decent photos featuring red among the customer uploaded photos on the Quadratec site.

I'm wondering how long mine will take to ship - I ordered last week with no availability date provided.

The cj retro wheels are definitely color and build dependant but red retro jeeps are normally a home run imo.

You’re right, majority of the ones on the Quadratec site do look amazing. That sucks you do not have an estimated ship date, hopefully it won’t take too long.

You’re spot on when you say depending on the color and build. For me the color is what worries me. It’s how the overall build will look. Mines built very minimal, just a 3” lift with stubby bumper and winch.

I've had mine for almost 5 years (bought them back in Sept 2020) but my Gladiator is white. I think your red will look awesome with these wheels.

Very impressed how they have held up for4+ years of Michigan winters. Finish looks like brand new. The cheap chrome plated plastic center caps are a bit faded and pitted, but that's to be expected.
I went with the 80's retro look for my build and TBH, if they were available in chrome like they are today, I may have gone that route as many of the 80's jeeps were running the chrome modular wagon wheels back in the day.

Your JT looks amazing. Where did you find the retro center cap decals, or is that a different center cap?

Thank you. Appreciate it. It just a vinyl decal I had a shop make.

That's funny - not five hours ago I used your pic from google images to show my GF what those tires will look like on those wheels. I'm hoping my local sign printing company can reproduce the center cap stickers. I ordered the wheels a week ago after watching them sit on backorder for a year - hopefully here soon. Your Jeep looks great man.

That's fantastic. Very cool. Glad you got them after a year waiting. I know they come in stock and go out the next day.
Show some pics when you get them. Will like to see it for sure!
