After going back and forth on several different wheel options, I decided to go with the Mopar Beadlock capable wheels on my JLU and add a touch of color to them. I had the rings powder coated a dark ruby red and could not be happier. I am sure this is nothing groundbreaking and has been done before, but the color match on these came out perfect and I am stoked on how good it looks. I kept the stock 33" KO2's for now. I'll upgrade to 35's when these wear out.

Looks great, even on 33"s. Where'd you purchase?

Wow!! Beautiful, how far out does the tire stick out compared to stock and are these the simulated headlock? Pictures taken from the back or front would be appreciated.

I was able to get the local dealer to match the best price I could find online which was $319 per wheel. And they did not make me pay the equivalent of shipping either.

I will grab some photos later today when I get home. The offset definitely pushes the wheel/tire out a bit for a nicer stance, but it is not too aggressive and still under the fenders for the most part.

EDIT: Forgot to answer your other question.....These are the true beadlock wheels with what they call the SlickLock ring. In other words, they have the fake beadlock ring on the true beadlock capable wheels. I can change the SlickLock ring out for the true beadlock ring for about $100 per wheel.

Thanks so much. Good pictures are the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger as my wife’s JL was built 3 days ago.

WOW!!! That is absolutely the best offset I’ve seen so far for our JL’s. That’s the wheel for me! Thanks so much brother and enjoy that beautiful truck.

Notty what is the spec on those wheels far as offset and how wide are they? I really like the stance on your jeep.

Do you happen to know if longer valve stems are necessary for installing these? My dealer has been wasting my time and ended up mounting my 35" KO2's on my stock rims without my permission because they couldn't figure out the valve stems. And now they want to charge me $23 per valve to replace them.
