New Wheels For My Wrangler! By mickeem on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Last year I upgraded the tires on my Wrangler, when I did that, I also upgraded the wheels. I wanted wheels that had the JEEP logo on them, didnt want any extra plugs, or caps I had to put on.
The factory wheels have caps, that are removeable, and because they are plastic, they are breakable. Lets just say, that after some 4 wheeling, these can crack... :)
So, I found these wheels at JC Whitney.com, but was able to just order them through my local Chrysler parts department. Because I bought all 4, I also lucked out , and received a discount. Not exactly sure why you wouldn't buy 4 at a time....
These are very nice, and sturdy wheels. They are all once piece, so again, I dont risk cracking any cover caps while 4wheeling.
These are Alloy wheels, so they are a bit lighter, and are fine for road traveling. They are not heavy, so they dont weigh your car down.. These are also better than steel , they are stronger believe it or not.
These have a nice alloy look to them also. They are not the bright shine, and they are not painted. They are kind of a buffed finish. I think they look great.
This is a nice aftermarket Wheel for those who dont want to spend a fortune on flashy wheels!

I like the matte look finish and the overall style of these wheels. I'm happy you found something light enough to go 4 wheeling with, and still look good.
nice job - i need new tires, but i'm pretty sure my saturn station wagon takes a different kind!
nice wheels, would be great for our jeep
I just showed this to my husband-he loves them!
Good price, sounds like a good selection for a Jeep. Thanks for the info
