Wheel opinions again

[Chrome]

Found this one last night while researching the Cherokee project. The smallest size I've found is a 17x10. I was hopeing for a 16x8 but what the heck. Let me know whatcha think...

IMHO it would be better looking if it was all black. But over all not a bad looking wheel. The size is a little big for my taste as well.

I think thats a sharp looking wheel, i've always been a sucker for the polished/ black look though. Being the 17's that will look real snazzy too

At the risk of being labeled old, my son has a set on simular wheels on his F350. I think they are a fad. Any old guys besides me remember Keystone Classics? They were the thing in the 1970's, but no one I know would be caught dead with a set of them now. These wheels remind me of them. My opinion, and I am not sure its even woth 2 cents, but here it is, Aluminum Slots like the factory Jeep wheels, Mickey Thompson's etc are classic's. They never go out of style.
Of course this is just my opinion.:)

What!? Where's the friggin chrome!!?

[RTFM]

First t hing that pops in to my head is Harley Davidson.
May be good for you may be bad, but it looks all bar and shield to me, then I think of the Ford special edition Harley pick up.

I agree with cavalryman40 this fad will pass and you'll be on the hunt for something else, I'd keep looking.

I'm with Casey on this one Cuz. Needs more chrome.:)

[Chrome]

Thanks folks! I keep thinking try something different but like cavalryman40 said it's just hard to beat a good set of Mickey T's. I remember the Keystones as well. I had a set on a 1980 Z28 many moons ago.

It's a very modern look as if that's what you are after I like it.

Is this for the two tone Cherokee with the stainless strip dividing the colors?

[CROCKETTBOONE]

They go along with the look of being rivited together. Kind of like those fenders on the Jap trucks.:eek: I dont find them attractive but to each his own.:thumbsup:

[dlowrance]

Not sure...I'd like to see a decent tire on them. I like the chrome on black look, but not sure about the pattern...what size tire are you thinking about?

[misfittom138]

Me personally, I wouldn't run a 17 with anything less than a 37" tire. maybe 35s. 33x17s look kinda goofy to me.

[skeletor]

i say stick with the stock chrome wagon wheels with the small amc jeep hub covers.

[fulsizjeep]

Since you asked... ;)
I am not fond of some the design that incorporates "that look". To each their own. Full Chrome wheels would probably suite the Ochroma Bin Polishin look better though. :cool:

Anything that deviates from the factory stamped rims is heresy and heretics should be burned at the stake after being excomunicated :thumbsup:

I love the old school white black or chrome steels my self I think they just look like the era. But this is your rig and you should go with what you think fits your taste but I thik the would go better on a new Chevy or Ford.

Too Flashy. you would never want to get dirt or mud on them much less bump a curb.
Strictly my opinion. I am Fan of black steel Cheap Wheels with Chromy center caps

:confused:

i don't like them. the style is ok, but the color is wrong. the machined would seem to 'float' over the hub.

just an idea... when i put rims on my girls tiburon i went with a flat black thick 5 spoke with machined outer lip and machined center. the flat black doesn't 'disappear' into the shadow of the wheel like glossy black does.
