Default Black or Polished

First off, great sight. We are new to the Jeep world and already I've learned a ton of info from this sight. We are looking to upgrade to after market wheels and tires but are torn between black or polished. What do ya'll think? Any pictures to share? Thanks for your time.

Black looks great regardless of your Jeeps color.

Black Black Black Black Black did I mention Black. Seriously I had polished and hated them, too much keep up needed. Welcome to the forum.

Howdy Neighbor!

Well, I had the same problem when I bought my Jeep last July. I didn't like the All-Polished Wheels, and especially the style. I tried saving a few $$$, and had my Stock Wheels Powdercoated Gloss Black. After a few months, they still didn't flip my switch, so I went looking for Aftermarket. I ended up with a Tungsten & Black combo, that I REALLY like. Here are some pics:

STOCK 17's:


BLACK POWDERCOATED 17's:


BLACK ROCK TUNGSTEN VIPER 900's 17's:


Best of Luck!

Cheers!

I like a mix of both. I really like the look of the Mamba M5 wheels. I like the Drifters, too.
I'm thinking of painting my stock wheels. Keeping the outside edge and centre cap polished and painting the rest black. Looks good to me!
