JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Great looking rims! I contemplated powdercoating mine but after pricing things out it was cheaper for me to trade in my rims and get new ones with proper backspacing. I avoided using spacers this way. Man, you got yourself one nice looking rig, love the wheels!

Hey xfactor what gloss is that? Is it high gloss or semi? I am getting ready to take mine in a couple of weeks and just curious as to what finish that is. They look great!!!

Hey SFD,

Thanks.

They're satin finish. I couldn't decide between gloss and satin, ended up going wth the satin, I didn't want too shinny and flat is hard to keep clean so I split the difference.

After getting it all put back together satin was the perfect choice.

Yea, I do have tire rub at full lock. I bought a full set of Terraflex 1" spacers (also had them powdercoated) not sure if I'm gonna install them. 1. The whole spacer idea makes me more than a little nervous. 2. The tires are flush with the fenders now and another 1" out will be too much.

Anyone know if anyone make wheel stops? Or has anyone fabbed any?

Thanks,
Ray

Hotness! If they made overlays for the lights, you could loose you rig in a dark parking lot.
