6 is probably Sahara, 2 and 5 are Rubicon (and a Rubi appearance package), and I dunno about the rest other than Sport.

Milous said one of the test mules that had the first picture wheels was a Sahara. Maybe 6 is an optional wheel for the Sahara. It's smart that they're going all black for the wheels because they look much better that way

I was thinking black is part of the camo. Not saying black won't be an option for some wheels but doubt all wheels will be 100% black as seen on these mules. I think they are painted for the camo.

#4 looks like base model steel wheels. Wonder if alloys will be standard on the base model or if they use the current JK 16" steel wheels as standard equipment but hopefully with a larger tire than the dinky 225.

4 is definitely a Steelie type Sport base wheel.

2 & 5 look like Rubicon and Rubicon upgrade Rims.

Based on the tyre attached to it, I'd say rim #1 is the premium sport rim rather than a higher package, it's very SRA-like. Could just be for MPG testing, but why not test with slightly better but still low rolling resistance like #6 unless it was going to be that featureless in the real world.. again SRA-like.

I believe #3 is currently used on JK/JKU for Rubicon Recon and the Chief editions. Me likely!!

I'd like 1 or 3 in 17 or 18" chrome wrapped in the tallest GOODYEAR WRANGLER white text tires I can get, please.

3 is for Rubicon Recon and I do not expect to see it on the new JL
I agree with the majority that the number five is for Rubicon and is probably a special version

Look at the front bumper as very beautiful as it appears from the picture and attached video

Was just going to mention that a new 7-spoke rim was on the 'green' test mule the other day, but kept forgetting to post here.

Now the other option images above aren't loading (were they hosted offsite?), so can't tell if duplicate. I also think the steelie cheap options weren't pictured above so was also going to add those, but will wait to see if list reappears if it was a network/hosting issue.

Anywhoo, here's the ones I'm refering to...
(Thinking all the mules' rims are black due to plasti-dip type cover to hide actual finish options)

Not sure which is which but #2 and #5 are nice. Was hoping there would be factory bead lock wheel option but not yet...sigh.

Still can't see the other options to see which are #2 and #6, weird can, must be wefilter or browser issue.
But based on previous comment when I could see them likely the Rubi trim levels.

It would be nice to see a factory beadlock with true functioning ring and not just cosmetic one like some of those 'off-road truck' accesory packages that have the look but not functionality, at least the Raptors are working beadlocks.. which makes sense for the price.

Not sure about the requirements, but I remember from previous discussions that the ones that are stock and functional have a sort of hybrid solution in order to comply with dot requirements, but it would be very nice if done right.

I waited for the images to reappear but to no avail
After all maybe these were but I'm not sure 100%

I couple of them look like Earl Scheib paint jobs. Or how I did some rims back in my youth with a rattle can.
