Default XD Spy Wheels with 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers PIC
I finally decided on 18" XD Spy Wheels with 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers. Just got them put on yesterday and love them! I was concerned the Mud Grapplers would be loud, but I don't think they are that loud whether on the freeway, residential etc. Then again, I might be used to thinking loud is like the pipes on my bike. Hahaha The ride is a little more stiff, but part of that I think is due to the installer for the wheels airing the tires to 45 PSI. He said I could air them down if it was too stiff, which I plan to do. Let me know what you guys think!

I like it and my jeep is very close to yours 2door rubi. I'm still deciding what wheels I want so thanks for the post, I'm looking at the Mamba M4s and the Procomp 7189 as well.

But looks good,

Airing them down to some reasonable PSI will help a lot! My tire shop put over 40 PSI in mine also!

Those look great with your Jeep! Where in Edina did you get those wheels, and did you get a decent price on them? I live in Prior Lake.

I got a great price (at least I think). I went to Discount Tire in Bloomington on 86th and Lyndale since my office is just down the Lyndale from there. I shopped around a lot. Not sure if I am allowed to post the price, but PM me and I will tell you. It was right in line with cheapest price on-line once you add shipping. Plus they swap the air sensor for free, plus lifetime rotation and balance (no minimum mileage between rotation either) Andrew was my sales guy. He is a jeeper too so he was very helpful about proper backspacing, necessary lift etc. If you go, tell him Jason sent you!!!
