They are the aluminum JT Sport S wheels. I like them too, and got an extra take-off set. They are pretty inexpensive, with or without tires because I guess 1. they don't get the cult following that Rubi, etc. stock wheels get; 2. they come with lame tires, so many owners replace them within 1000 miles.
Thanks. Unfortunately so far we don’t get the Gladiator in the UK. Hadn’t seen that wheel before

Nice! Can you tell that its a noticeable size increase over factory? Always hard to really judge in pictures but it looks good! Those factory silver wheels look great too!

Don't really need more wheels, thanks. Visually, these tires are noticeably bigger, but driving, they seem similar, with no negative effects.

Does anyone make a 35/10.5? That’s what I want to run here in the desert. I don’t need flotation. I need contact pressure. All I can find is the BFG KO2 in 34/10.5.
chime in pizza cutter people.

I'm not running them yet, but was thinking about it because I wanted to keep the factory wheels for a while, I like this tread! Interco used to make a 34 TSL LTB pizza cutter that was awesome in the old days...:D...Those things were awesome in winter snow trails, but they're Bias-Ply though, not sure people want to run those nowadays but they're DOT.

I think this is the modern version in 17"

You might look at Goodyear mtr in 275/80r17. It's a smallish 35 thats 11 in. wide. I'm considering them on my stick rims cause the narrower width works a bit better.
I like the sound of that size tire. If you get them, please post up the pics. Do you know what that tire weighs?

I ran 255/80/17 KM2's on my JKUR and loved them. They performed really well in everything but snow, but that was more due to the tread having little or no siping. Off-road, they were amazing, from gumbo mud to sand to rock to dirt.

Tire rack shows them at 60 lbs. I decided to go bigger so no pics. Sorry.

Those of you on the Kenda Klever KR601 in the 35x10.5x17... I'm wondering if I'll be able to manage on a JLU Sport S with Rubicon takeoff springs/shocks (From a 2021 diesel JLUR, which should be the tallest/stiffest of the rubi option springs) will be sufficient from a lift and suspensions travel perspective. Or if spacer leveling kit might give a bit more room. Or if I'm better off just sticking to a 33 unless I want to go more lift for now. My understanding is that the control arm clearance has been an issue on other folks wanting to run 35s on Rubi takeoff 'lifts' - but I'm hopeful that the narrower Kenda's will clear fine (on stock rims and backspacing).

Thanks in advance for any real-world experience with the Kendas on a moderately lifted rig.

Believe you can go to 35’s on a non Rubicon by changing front fenders to Rubicon ones.

I also ran 255/80R17 KM2 tires on my WK. They were great for getting through the lake effect deep snow in Northern New York. But they wore quickly and were only okay on wet/icy roads.
