Novakane and Hostage are both 17X9. The Trophy is 17x8.5. All three with 4.5 BS. The Shoes will be Toyo OC 35x12.50. Im leaning towards the Trophy. But the Gangsta' in me likes the Novakane. If you have another wheel in mind toss it in the mix. Hopefully the new Rubi will get her attitude adjusted through some extra elevation in the next week! No Rockstars or Fuel Boost.....

The one in the middle looks best to me.

Have you considered XD Monsters? The downside is they come in 18" as the smallest size. I like mine...

Just got rid of the 2011 Sahara with 18's.....The price for Rubber was insane! Im sticking with a 17" wheel this time around.

I am trying to figure out wheels myself. My Granite JKUR is due in on Monday. I had planned on getting Raceline Monster beadlocks but decided I don't want a beadlock wheel for a DD. Out of the options you posted, I would pick the Fuel Trophy wheel. I'm a huge fan of BMF wheels for lifted trucks but not so much for Jeeps. My opinion of Fuel wheels is the opposite. I was never a fan of Fuel wheels until I decided to add a Rubicon to the garage and now it seems Fuel has some of the better designs for Jeeps. Personally, Fuel Trophy made my short list along with the Fuel Anza. I'm trying to decide between those two. Below is a pic of the Anza:

I'm going in tomorrow to install Teraflex BB on my '10 JKU which is the Charcoal Pearl. I like black wheels, but they just don't look right to me next to my jeep color. So I've looking into two wheels. The Fuel Trophy wheel has been my #1 choice for weeks now, only I am favoring the granite spoke w/ Matte beadlock. Just to change it up a bit. As for rubber, I am most likely going with nitto trail grapplers..

I like the Anza as well but decided to steer clear of it. My fat fingers would get stuck in the spoke's trying to poke mud out......
