Replacing stock steel wheels. Need help!!
I want to replace my stock 16x7 steel wheels on my 2008 jk with OEM aluminum 16" wheels. I found a guy with 16" OEM alums from a 2007 but he is out of town and pretty clueless. Does anyone know if the backspacing is different? I have searched but can not find the answer
Thanks
Thanks

Make sure they are really 16" not to many are. I am not sure about 2007, but they don make 16" aluminum ones now.
If I were you, I would just paint your wheels black. I think they look great that way.

I know a lot of people like the black look but I am just not a fan. I have yet to see a white jk like mine with black wheels that I like, so I have been searching high and low for some alums in 16" as the JK i just bough has brand new 285/75/16s
Thanks

Most people paint their wheels black using Plasti-Dip or Rustoleum Bed Liner.
I personally use Rustoleum Bed Liner on everything. I did my bumpers, steps, wheels, hi-lift jack, grill inserts, light bar, and other misc items with it.
