Default thoughts on gear alloy wheels
18x9 Gear 729MA 729MA-8907300

Been wanting some new shoes for the jk. I have all black Jk. Don't like the look of all black wheels on black jeeps. Been looking and some machined and black wheels. Then I saw some grey alloy wheels. I like the Grey and silver look and think that they would pop against an all black jeep.

Anyone have some wheels by them. How is the quality? If you have some pics post them up.

dont have them but hopefully someone posts some pics, its hard to get a feel for a wheel with them only showing a smaller size vs. the 18's you intend on buying
