I like the looks of.gun metal better but if you are going to wheel your jeep, scratches on black wheels are covered very easy with black spray paint.

Do you currently have the black mamba on your JLU?
No. My current wheels are stock Jeep matte black wheels that came on my '17 Big Bear Edition JKU. When I traded my JKU, I made the dealer allow me to swap my wheels and 33" BFG KO2s for the Sahara 18" wheels and street tires which I didn't care for.

2018 Jeep JL Rubicon & 2004 Jeep TJ. Previously owned 1993 Cherokee, 1980 CJ5, & M151A2 while in the Military. For the love of Jeeps !
My vote was for gunmetal, but I might be a little biased ;)

I have been looking for an alternative wheel for my new Rubicon. Too many wheels have the simulated beadlock bolts. I don't like the look. I really like the look of those gunmetal colored wheels on your jeep. You posted some pictures after this one and one showing the "Stance" of he wheels under the jeep. Was the picture of the stance with these gunmetal colored wheels. I couldn't tell for sure. Sorry to trouble you, but I really like your set up and I am really liking those wheels.
thanks.

I always love white letters outside. I love the wheels. Are those stock? Did you have them refinished gun metal? I can't seem to find those anywhere. Do they have a model name/number? Thanks!

Old thread, I know, but the poll was still open, so I cast my vote for Gunmetal. But I'm bias.

I am going thru the same decision making process. I have had a variety of black wheels on past Jeeps and also an anthracite wheel (Fuel Anza) on 2 Jeeps ago. I'm sort of at the mindset that black has been overplayed and I am leaning toward gunmetal myself. I do like the 3rd wheel to the right on the bottom picture you posted.
I was in the same boat. I was going between the gun metal and the mammoth boulder charcoal. I went with the mammoths. I’m wishing I had ordered one of each. I’m happy with the mammoths, but thinking they’re just a little darker than I wanted. I think they look good all the same.

Are those Fuel Podium's D619? I have a granite 4 door and am trying to pick wheels. Thought I was set on the Fuel Anza with the gray, but i cant stop looking at this picture. That color looks awesome with the Granite. If those are not Podium's what are they. That is the best match to granite ive seen...TIA
