What are these wheels called?
A local dealer has these on a couple of Saharas but I've not seen them in any of the brochures. Anyone know the name of this wheel and the size?

Those appear to be Pro Comp wheels - check out 4WD.com or Quadratec.com and look under their respective 2007 Jeep JK accessories sections... there are many styles to choose from, and you can get the same thing in black, too ()

Is there any difference in these Cragars and ProComps other than the Cragars are about half the cost of the ProComps?

2 big differences: Alloy is lighter and more resistant to bending (whereas steel can bend, but is less likely to outright fracture, unlike an alloy wheel).
Unless you're really doing some serious wheeling in rocky conditions, you'll be fine with the steel - steel is more likely to "bend" under hard abuse than alloy, but I think most people won't be abusive enough to their Jeep that they need the added strength of alloy.
When I get around to shelling out the $$$ for a lift and new wheels and tires, I'm probably just going to buy some simple black steel wheels...

Those Cragers are also chromed (chips and rust) vs. the Pro Comps are polished. (scratch them get them re-polished)
I like the Pro Comps. They are what I will most likely run when my Jeep grows up.
