Unfortunately, this is not a TJ. Nice try though. You're welcome to try again. Thank you

I doubt I'd be able to find a Tj one and wanted to be the first to respond like an a-hole

Cant go wrong with Mickey Thompson classic on a tj, timeless style

@justjeepin86 has some for sale in the tire section, they are 17”, I believe they are 5x4.5? Looks like the soft 8 style rim, I’ve always liked those

I've always thought black D window wheels looked good on Jeeps, but I also think chrome Mickey's or similar look good on just about anything.

There are a set of soft 8's here that belong to Cornwell. I'm not sure what he wants for them

She does not like the soft 8's thanks

She's got taste then.

I say that as someone who put soft 8's on his TJ and has hated them ever since.

Some nerd once did the math on Jeepforum, and I don't know how accurate it was, but the difference between aluminum wheels and steel wheels is something like 8 lbs each. Adding some more nerd math to it about the amount of force required to roll them, and essentially it was like having an extra 300lbs onboard. Maybe someone here can confirm that rough, barely recalled fact. It may be all sorts of off.

Seems legit. I have experienced the difference between load E tires and just a light truck tire.

I have 4 sets of mounted and balanced wheel/tire sets for my TJs. The difference between a 31x10.50 on stock steel wheels vs 235/75r15 on an alloy Ecco wheel is 17 pounds. That's each.

I guess a lot depends on your budget? Probably gonna buy new tires too?

I think some old school steelies look pretty slick.

I went with 5x5 wheel adapters so I could have more choices with the jk rims. 4wp had a sale on pro comp wheels last fall. Or you could put on some jk takeoffs

I had these wheels on a YJ about 18 years ago. I still dig the way they look. Damn, now I want some on my CJ. American Racing AR23

 

[jeepyjman]

[Jeff B]

Thanks for all these suggestions.

I have a set of hard rock rubi wheels, set of 5, 4 have rock rash. Would sell for 50 bucks ( she would need adapter spacers)
Would look different, going to method standard 301 wheel
