Oh geez, so many to choose from! I had pro comps on my 11 2 Dr. On my '14 jku I have Mickey Thompson classic III. I like the look. But there are so many out there to chose from, its like asking which shoe do you prefer? Which shirt?

Look in Show & Tell, there are threads dedicated to showing off wheels. Google may help too, just a hunch though.

If price isn't a big concern ... Look into the Mickey Thompson don't know if they still make the simulated bead lock rings for them but they look nice

If Budget is of concern, check out quadratec's house brand wheels. I am running their extreme wheels in gunmetal this coming spring.

My stock rims are 17 inches and they look nice in my opinion. But if I had the money I would get something flashy like the Rockstars.

Oh god no. Rockstars, for the "urban" crawlers. They have to be the worst looking wheel ever.

I have found that Discount Tire has a nice selection at a reasonable prices. It depends on the look your going for and what level of abuse you plan on putting them through. I run the MB5 Chaos 15" wheel in black. At $100/wheel it was a great set up for me at the time since funds were almost non existent. I think for a 17" they run around $120 each. They also have a program that you enter in your Jeeps color and you can select different wheels to see how they look on your Jeep. When I make the move to 17s I may stay with the same style or maybe change it up. Won't know until the time comes.
