New tire and wheels....
So anyway I was working on painting some 16" steelies with black Duplicolor bedliner. I had finished them and called my local dealer about finding me some 255/75/16 tires. A few minutes later another guy called me about some wheels he had, brand new set of 5 aluminum Jeep wheels with the Goodyear SR-A tires. He was asking $400. I told him I really wanted the black rim look and a 33" tire but I decided to go look at them anyway..... All said and done I walked outta the dealership last night With the aluminum wheels installed for $300. I think I got a hell of a deal. Here are some pics with the stock steelies, the painted, then the aluminum. The tire is a 32" but wider and it def. looks a lot better then those little pizza cutters.
Before:
MID DECISION:
$300 Dolars later

Good deal on the rims but why didn't you go with a more agressive tire? Doesn't really match that beefy bumper or rocker guards you have.
I now buy my mods with the thought of....think for the future twice and buy once.

It was the total package....The tires I was going to get were going to cost over $1000 and money is tight right now so I thought it was a no brainer. A bigger/wider tire plus I don't do any extreme offroading so this will keep me happy for now till I get the lift and go with the 35's

The new shoes look much better than the old ones.
But, IMO, that stinger looks kinda funny with the stock SR-A's. I think you should have gotten a lift and new, bigger shoes before you got the stinger. It's such a big front bumper for stock JK, makes everything out of proportion.
