I'll stick with my wheels for a few years, probably. I upgraded to 35's pretty much immediately and they are perfect for that size.

I'm back and forth on it, yesterday I was, today I'm not.
Depends on what I see in after market wheels. May try it for a while.

I actually really like the stock rims, right now. Of course, that could change and I change them down the road. But, since January, I've continued to like them fairly well.

Initially, I was planning on upgrading wheels and tires right away. However, as my mod list grows, tires and wheels have moved closer to the bottom of my list with respect to their priority.

2018 Jeep JL Rubicon & 2004 Jeep TJ. Previously owned 1993 Cherokee, 1980 CJ5, & M151A2 while in the Military. For the love of Jeeps !
The original wheels are good looking and they are “Distinctly Rubicon”. Those Rubi wheels are often purchased used by other Jeep owners who have non-Rubicon wheels. Their popularity and great looks make this question a no brained. I happen to love the way they look and like Sean K wrote in the above thread;
The only thing that matters is whether you the owner like them or not. Trends come and go......just be true to your own liking and enjoy your Jeep whatever model it is....with whatever wheels or mods you like.
Doesn’t matter what your Jeep has on it..... I am still going to give you a “Jeep-Wave” and I am going to admire your Jeep and the personal touches you have done to it.

Probably 4 out of 5 aftermarket wheels I see on Rubicon JLs don’t have anything on the stock wheel, in my opinion.

I have Rubicon wheels on my Sport, but since I kept the stock tires (and had the additional expense of remounting and balancing) I could have bought pretty much whatever I wanted to for equal or not very much more money. For some reason, I think the Rubicon wheel looks best on a 2 door.

Keeping mine stock. No reason to change for the sake of changing and most of the wheels I see people put on are just awful. I think the OEM Rubi wheels are fantastic.

Keeping mine stock for now. Honestly I’d be happy finding a second set so I could keep the rock rashes set for off road and the clean set for on road.
