The Chaos 5 does does have the caliper clearance to work on the JK Give us a call at 1.888.459.4080 and anyone of our agents would be happy to put this package together for you.

This wheel model is not discontinued by any means. Your local store just probably doesn't have any available in-stock.

Give the store call directly. They can order you in a spare wheel.

Please PM me a price quote for a set (5 total) of the following:

MB72 16x8.5 Matte Black wheels
285/75R16 Goodyear DuraTrac tires


A couple of questions:

- do you foresee any problems balancing the above tire/wheel combo? (I currently have the same size Mickey Thompson MTZs on steel wheels and have had constant problems getting/keeping them balanced)
- the DuraTrac are load range E, what feedback have you heard on how harsh the ride is on those?

Thank you for your time,
David

i like the machined finish but what scares me is taking care of them. we get a lot of road salt in the winter. how do these wheels stand up to daily use? do they tarnish easily and require weekly scrubbing like other polished wheels? cause i never want to deal with that again.

Road salt is going to be hard on any wheel finish. The main thing to do is keep them clean as much as possible.

The MB72 in the machined finish (this model is not polished) does have a clear coat which will help protect them. I suggest putting a good coat of wax on them 3 times a year as well to help protect them
