Are these Rubicon Wheels?

Subtle difference, but my '23 Rubicon wheels look like this:

Good eye! The one I have shown is probably the 2023 Gladiator Rubicon version.

My Rubicon came with what they called "upgraded" wheels. IDK why though, to me its just different color scheme, the specs are the same.

AFAIK there are no completely black "Rubicon wheels".
And as it was mentioned before, the marketplace is full of practically new takeoffs that people just drove home from the dealer.
Also, if I were shopping for new wheels at 250/wheel, I wouldn't even think of those stock wrangler wheels. There are plenty of aftermarket options that are better in every aspect.

More to your question. The Willys wheel is 7.5“ wide. It will handle 285 70 17 tires fine. The 2024+ model years have this as standard vs the 255 75 17 that came with my 2023 Willy’s.
They will handle 315 70 17 too. But your suspension and or fenders may need to be updated as to avoid tire rubbing. Won’t even get into gearing, as this is about wheels.

Lots of aftermarket wheels out there, Method, KMC, AEV, Fuel to name a few. Take offs are a good option if you want the stock look. My Moab’s will be a take off for someone as soon as the KO3’s in the C load are available.

For me 7.5” is a bit narrow for the look I want. My plan is to go to a Method bead grip wheel with a 8.5 width and put KO3 35x12.5x17 on my Willy’s.

Here is a takeoff oem seller that deals in wheel sales for all makes. No affiliation, but know of them. I think they are based in Dallas..

Here is another in New Hampshire.

Or just keep an eye open here on marketplace.

I'm looking to replace the wheels on my 2025 Sarah (18" wheels) with 17" Rubicon wheels and tires.

I found a set of these on line:

Wrangler Wheels

Are these the same wheels that would have come on a 2023 Rubicon?

Are the specs the same as the Rubicon wheels? 17x7.5 44.45mm Offset 127mm bolt pattern

Will they be ok on my 2025 Sahara with no mods? I'll be using 285 70R 17 tires. Any issues with rubbing up front? I do very little off road driving...

Last question - has anyone bought wheels from this place before??

No... those are NOT Rubicon wheels. Don't even look like a cheap knockoff. I say no!

That's the one my 2018 had. On the window sticker it was referred to as the "polished lip" option and was an extra $895.

Mine is '21 and I bought it used. Otherwise there's no way I'd pay almost a grant extra for these.

I think these are my favorite factory wheel. And no plastic coating for moisture to get under, corrode, and look like crap. On my second set with two different Jeeps. Got some for my old 19 Sahara and the 21 Rubicon came with them.

The duck says it's an OEM Gladiator wheel, Mopar also has it listed but without an image, dunno.

Subtle difference, but my '23 Rubicon wheels look like this:

I had both styles, the top one I got it off a Rubicon Gladiator(2020 I think), it had Falken Wildpeak MT, the bottom one I got it off a 2021 Rubicon 4xe K02.

The last image is the original wheels the 2021 Sahara 4xe was shipped with 20" rims.

The site you liked has the OEM part number on it as 04755565AA. A quick search says that’s a Gladiator wheel. It will fit on a wrangler.

looks exactly like the Moab wheels on my 21 JLU Willys.

Just to close the loop here. I ended up going with Gladiator wheels. Got five of them for $200 off Facebook marketplace. I couldn't be happier. I'll be getting them powder coated gloss black to put them back to new!

i think that's a nice-looking wheel; should be easy to keep clean, too (if you're into that sort of thing).

you're probably going to pay more for powder-coating than you paid for the wheels!

(BTW; it's probably time to update your Sig Line, y'know? sounds like you're well past the "Soon to be".)
