So... all you guys with stock Wheels if there was a sale for 75% off Aftermarket Black Wheels you would pass and say "I like my stock wheels?" I'm going to call "BS"

I'm running 35" Trail Grapplers on stock rims (same size as a 315/70/17 Trail Grappler). You can use the stock carrier with spacer - I think mine is a teraflex. I've got 20,000 miles and some decent off road trips with no issues yet, but I do have a new carrier on my short list of upgrades now. I know some guys have had issue with damage to tail gates, but I've gotten away with it so far.

Too bad it's not legal to run without the front quarter panels. I like the look all it would need is some paint and imagine the flex you could get.
I'm not hating on the stock aluminums. I've just never like stock wheels. Shoot I even had to change my wheels out on my wife's 2012 Mazda 6 because I want to be able to spot my car if another one parked close to it. I'm just not a stock person I like to make my vehicles stick out in a crowd. In a industry where they make a 200k of the same vehicle it's good to not look like all the clones out there.

You know what people think when they see stock JK rims spaced out and stuffed with rubber : Thank god its not another Rockstars douche!
Stock wheels look awesome IMO with some plastidip and fat meat. You can find Spidertrax spacers for $100 used all day long, thats what I bought and sold mine for, and it really changes the look of the rig.I personally run 37x14" tires on a 17x9" wheel... I am not technically running a beadlock (Interco BirdDogs) but can drop to 2PSI on trail w/o worries about beads. On factory rubi wheels/tires I was losing beads up front under 16psi. I would have LOVED to put 37x12-17x13 on my stock rims except I went with a field serviceable wheel so I could lose the 5th wheel and tire carrier... Just pack C02 and rubber when I go out.
People love to tell you just to go drop another $1,500 on wheels, yet motherfuckers wont pay for US made products. They will drop coin for a fabbed bumper and carrier to show off their spotless and unrotated Rockstar or Soft 8 spare, then roll around the mall on a fucking chinese parts bin suspension.

Frankly I like the stock wheels on my 2013 JKUR. How long did you wait to get your Treadwrights? Their website says that size is on back order(4-6weeks).

IDK that I would pay $100 for knew cheapo spacers when the top shelf ones are the same price used, and youll get $100 when/if you resale them
I love my BirdDogs... allows me to keep the cost/weight down too as I dont need a carrier or 5th wheel and validates my CO2 setup. Discount sells them for $190 a pop and they are BEEFY, huge lip protectors, and 2 valvestems... They are the ONLY reason I am not running 37s on my plastidipped/spidertrax'd Moabs
