Default I Need help deciding the kind of wheel to put on my jeep

I have the Steel Blue color and im trying to decide if chrome or black would look best on my jeep. I want it to look rugged but sharp at the same time if that makes sense. I have my eye on these at the moment.




Any thoughts would be appreciated cause I keep going back and forth and its driving me nuts, thanks!

I try to keep things uniform and think about how practical they are. If you offroad on a somewhat regular basis i would go with the black wheels and they also look very rugged. I would go with chrome if you have other chrome or ss accesories and also to show off more of the size of the tires you have on your rig. Either way they would look good on your JK

Go black....finding chrome accessories that don't make it look cheap are hard to find whereas you can always find black accessories (usually cheaper then chrome) and then get them painted/powdercoated to match your tastes.

There are some nice wheels that are black with some machining done to it too that look pretty cool too. I went with wheels that were mostly black with a little chrome. I like them a lot. IMHO all of one of the other is too much.

I like those wheels they are on my list of maybes with the Mamba M4s and Black DC1s.

Cant deside if you can mount the Procomp Rings on this model though I don't like the bullet hole wheels as much as the spokes.

If you get alloy wheels and you plan on doing a lot of 4 wheeling that could potentially damage the rims you might want to consider putting rock rings on your wheel of choice.
