As near as I can find, the Borah's are about 50% heavier than the OEM Rubicon wheels (21lbs or so vs. 33lbs). Has anyone noticed any acceleration lag, mpg hit or longer breaking distance required after switching?

I ended up ordering the Icon Rebound wheels. lighter, cheaper and better sizing to fit with my MC lift.

Almost half the price at $172 (currently 25% off) for anyone interested

Icon wheels have a way different backspacing . They do look great, but most looking at AEV wheels are because of less poking.

Looks good with the silver hardware (bolts) in the trim ring. The trim ring that color looks great with the vehicle color. I called AEV, and they said the silver hardware for the protection rings is discontinued, and all they sell is the back hardware now.
