Why do aftermarket wheels have to look so... aftermarket?

[WILDHOBO]

Really like some of the AEV wheels and the Quadratrac wheels. I probably like them because they do look clean and factory. Since I wanted absolutely no poke on my vehicle I stuck with factory. But I decided to go with the Rubicon wheels that came from a two door rubicon .Not a fan of all black, not a fan of chrome, I thought these were a good compromise.

Are those 35’s? Do you not have running with sway bar disconnected and/or steering lock? They look great. I like them better than my granite crystal rubi wheels, but still like them enough to keep them. I’m running spacers to prevent rub. They poke a little, but not much.

I really like the Warn Moonsalt and diamond cutter wheels, but can’t justify the cost.

I just wish these were available in 2020

They will be the wheels on my next Jeep

Those are very cool looking. And in retro white, they would look great. And be super easy to clean.

I'm not sure if you know, but the following wheels look very similar. They may be available in the size you want.

Yes BFG 35, no rubbing at all. I do have a 1 inch lift in front, that’s it. Mine came with the granite crystal ruby wheels. Sold them for 400, bought these for 600 on eBay. So for $200 I got what I wanted.

I guess 35’s shouldn’t rub. Bfg has some smaller 35’s from what others have said. I’d have definitely rubbed with my 36.5” 37’s without the spacers. Maybe not on the street, but off road definitely.

I agree. Here’s mine with 37’s on stock wheels. I love the look. 1.75” spidertrax spacers and zero rub at full articulation.

Did you have to trim your factory lug bolts for those spacers or is the 1.75" long enough to clear the spacer?

I too like the simple look, but don't like the poke I have with the current Qtec wheels. Looking for some that tuck the wheel back under the fender for the most part.

No trimming. No permanent modification to hubs or rotors. If I ever change my mind and get beadlocks, they just come off.

You may not like them but they do look very nice.

I’d like mine under as well, but don’t want rubbing. Also, ideally you widen the truck a little when lifting it, to avoid tip over issues. There’s a formula, but I don’t remember it. I did check it when lifting, and I widened it more than recommended to not increase COG.

Thanks...that's my problem too Love the look but hate the cleanup! I added Rokblokz which helped immensely so maybe I'll just suck it up.

I like those, but -18 offset is a no go for me. that's 2 inches out further than stock for a mojave, and going an inch wider on tire means the tire/rim package with those rims will be out 2.5 inches from stock, and that's more poke than I want

I get it, but I like that look

My current wheels have -24mm offset

Not sure, but the only nice looking wheels on the later Jeep gladiators and wranglers are the launch ones that came on the gladiator, the rest are ugly imo.

Excellent! Thanks. I'm trying to spread out some of the cost of all these upgrades and spacers on my factory wheels seem like a great solution. Did you have trouble finding a shop to put the 37's on the factory wheels?

Nope. The Mickey Thomson Baja boss AT’s technically want an 8” wheel, so 7.5” is REALLY close. I just run them at 34-35psi and they work great.
