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.

You know whats funny, those of us that have older alloy wheels (like 5 slot wheels fromt he 70's) work hard to get them to be shiny. You just took your shiny ones and made them dull.

But they do look neat. What are you going to do to seal them from the elements?

It certainly cut down on the "blinginess" or the "Hummer effect".

Yeah kinda weird, huh? I'm gonna eventually get some Soft 8's anyhow, so if these get screwed up I'm not gonna be too upset about it...besides, we don't have that many "elements" here in Alabama...

Thanks guys!

Looks better. It is very easy to paint those wheels black if you want black wheels. They would look awesome in black.

You could have used ZoopSeal on them and avoided the constant need for polishing; but they do look great scuffed...

For others that want to easily maintain your polished wheels, check it out. http://www.zoops.com/zoopseal.asp

Been there done that with the "house" thing. Those look good, hard to tell the detail in the pics, have you considered painting those black for temporary?
