Any pics out there of Mopar Satin Carbon Gear Wheels 77072471AB?

[atl02wrx]

New member here, having trouble deciding on a set of wheels. I'd like to stick with Jeep/Mopar options. I stumbled upon the Mopar Satin Carbon Gear Wheels 77072471AB which look great on the 2 dr. Any of these out there?

EDIT: Looking for pics on JLU (and 35" tires)

I really like them and I posted and asked about them a while back but nobody had any pics or info. Maybe someone does now.

Thanks Josh, looks great! Nice color combo. I think these moved to the top of the list. Do they stick out past the fenders at all?

@atl02wrx
Somewhere on here, it was posted that the stockers have +45mm off set and a 6.1" back space. According to Quadratec, the Gear wheels have a +12mm off set and a 5.2" back space.
Stock back space minus the new back space equals how much further the CENTER of the tire/wheel moves.
In this instance, 45-12=33; the center will move out 33mm or 1.3". If the tires change to 12.5 wide, from 11.5", the tire will move out from stock an additional amount of 1/2 of the increase in tire width, or 0.5". The total change in tire poke should be 1.3"+0.5"=1.8".
This will not exactly match the calculation using solely back space (6.1-5.2, plus 1/2" for the tire = 1.4") because back spacing doesn't use wheel center and doesn't account for thickness of materials in the wheel. But, is is a close approximation of 1.8". On-line you can find calculators to convert back spacing to off set.
Fact checkers, please chime in too. I just learned about this a few days ago.

Awesome info I had not read before. Thanks!

I found another pic, not of JLU but close, a rendering of the JT with these wheels.

Forgot this one, concept with what appears to be the same wheels, black powder coat inside and left the gear lip silver.

they do stick past the fenders a little. I was concerned about that as well. I think if I had gone with the 315/70R17 they might have tucked in a little more. I think the way they fit with the larger 35'" is worth the little stick out IMO

I think it looks great, a little poke with the meaty 35's looks like it means business.

Another.

thanks I love it too. Just went wild with the pimp oil on the tires, need to wash it off

Pulled the trigger, the Gear wheels have been ordered!

I liked the Hardrock wheel from my '15 Willy's and they look great on JL's (especially with machined accents). I had been considering the Mopar beadlocks too. Sort of prefer a solid spoke over a split spoke. Also the concavity of this wheel is a style I like nowadays.

Unfortunately I won't be able to get the 35's for a little while. Ordered wheels for another car too.

Please, please post back when they get installed. I'm subscribed. I like that Gear wheel.

Hear another angle and on the back of what appears to be a Sting Gray, which is close to @atl02wrx 's Granite
The last one is a similar 5 spoke Mopar 'Cast' 17" in black, with the same dimensions and offset

This IS the correct amount of poke:

With all my posts on here, you can probably tell I really like these wheels....I'm just wondering how they'd look on Billet Silver lol
