Default Wheels for JK's

What companies are producing wheels for JK's that are 5X5? Pics and Company names would be very helpful. I currently have Mickey Thompson but am looking for companies that produce wheels finished similar to AEV. My second question is whether one wheel finish/construction is stronger than another?

Thanks

I should think the list of companies not making JK wheels would be shorter. LOL. You might check out these forum sponsors:

Quadratec JK Wheels

Northridge4X4 Wheels

Discount Tire Direct JK Wheels

I also know that ProComp and Moto Metal make JK wheels (I have the PcoComp 7089s). You can find them, and many other brands, at 4WheelParts:

...as many pics as possible please! I too have looked and looked for the one wheel that will forever change the look of my JK!

...and I still agree that JK wheel selection is limited (beyond utilizing spacers and adapters)...

I have yet to find a real deep dish type wheel (with 4.5 backspacing) that grabs my attention!

What style are you looking for? Like offroad only, Offroad/Street, or Street?

I want 17 inch rims and I'm looking for a "deep-dish" look. I already have the tires (35" x 17"). I really want a 17" X 10" rim. The problem is that I can't find a rim in this size that won't require a wheel adapter. Another problem is once you go with anything over 8 inches deep, it takes away from a good off-set (4.5). I really like the Dick Cepek's (polished or chrome) but this size doesn't exist. Hell, I'd love the MT's if they came in this size...!
