Okay, so I have an Unlimited X with the S package. It has the silver painted 17" MOAB wheels. I am buying 4 Rubi wheels and tires. The problem of course is that I will not have a matching spare. I do not wheel, yet, so offroad durability does not play a role here. I don't know what to do and thought I would ask for some of your opinions. Really my three options are:

1) Put the 4 Rubi wheels and tires on, and keep my existing spare and put a cover over it (Costs $60+TAX). Sell the 4 stock silver wheels with Goodyears.

2) Put the 4 Rubi wheels and tires on, and buy a fifth Rubi wheel and tire for the spare (Costs $520+TAX). Sell the all 5 stock silver wheels with Goodyears.

3) Put the 4 BFG M/T's on my current wheels and buy one more for my fifth wheel.(Costs $270+TAX). Then sell the 4 Rubi wheels and the 5 Goodyear tires separately.

Is it worth it to have the Rubi wheels? They are exactly the same as the ones I have except they are polished instead of painted. I have been putting out feelers for just one Rubi wheels and tire but no positive replies yet. There is an ebay seller selling the Rubi wheel for $125 plus $40 shipping. The wheel is used though and does not come with a center cap.

Any ideas?

 

Are you going to wheel your JK?

 

Most likely not. Well not with these wheels and tires anyways.

 

If you are going to rotate your spare into the mix, then #1 is out.
If you have no preference on the painted vs. polished, i would guess #3 to be a better option, as people are more likely to buy "Rubicon" wheels because the name has some weird aura around it *L*, so resale of those should be easier, and may command a slightly higher price. Selling the 5 Goodyears locally through a paper should be relatively easy. They are a standard size for Pickups.

If it was me, i'd go with #3, but again, it depends on your preferences.
