I was driving on the 110S in Los Angeles yesterday and spotted this.

Possible new wheel?

Hmmm, not bad. Do those brakes look bigger to you?
Can't tell from OP's pic but from the other spy photos it doesn't seem like it. Braking is really poor on the JK but hopefully some weight loss has been achieved.

Off topic, but the pic above is all the confirmation I need to say that the rear quarter windows are designed to pop out.

As you were...

What makes you think that?

Look at the way the wrap is split all the way around the rear quarter window.

The wrap has to be split. The wrap around the body is different from the wrap on the window because the window's wrap is slightly see-through. This is done so the driver can see out of the Jeep.

The way it's split & gapped tells me the windows are designed to be removable. I could be wrong, have been plenty of times before, but I personally am convinced. :rock:

Thos windows offer no driver aid. Only the rear window back by the spare tire. I think Billy is right on this.
