Went by Discount Tire to get a quote on rims and new rubber. Mentioned the Cragar Soft 8's and had to explain the whole 15" rim fitting on a JK thing. Anyways, they bring up a Unique wheel on the computer that looks like the Cragar Soft 8, and tell me that it's the same rim. Can't recall the specific model name. Did anyone else run into this too? I want to order the right one, and tried using the Cragar Soft 8 name like posted up here many times.
Edit: The Cragar Soft 8 (397) and the Unique 297 are the same rim... just different center caps.

I really like your setup! Looks great and seems to function well for you. Are you using spacers because you had contact with the front caliper bracket or because you preferred the much wider stance? You may want to watch out for your wheel bearings. With those spacers you've got to have under 2.5" of backspacing now. On one of my past Jeeps, I had 2.75" of bs with spacers and I had to replace my hub bearings annually.
