2025 Wrangler Sahara - Fathom Blue
I'm looking to replace the wheels on my 2025 Sarah (18" wheels) with 17" Rubicon wheels and tires.

I found a set of these on line:

Wrangler Wheels

Are these the same wheels that would have come on a 2023 Rubicon?

Are the specs the same as the Rubicon wheels? 17x7.5 44.45mm Offset 127mm bolt pattern

Will they be ok on my 2025 Sahara with no mods? I'll be using 285 70R 17 tires. Any issues with rubbing up front? I do very little off road driving...

Last question - has anyone bought wheels from this place before??

Not to deviate from your original questions, but in case you didn't know, there are a lot of people that sell their new Rubicon wheels and tires and you could pick up a set of 5 with tires and TPMS already installed and included for cheaper than buying 5 of the wheels you mentioned above.

To answer your question, a 2023 Rubicon wheels looks like this:

I don't think those were a factory Rubicon wheel. But as mentioned above what about buying a used set? I've bought a few sets over the years and it's a pretty common upgrade. There are almost always a set or two of fairly new Rubicon take-off tires and wheels on Facebook Marketplace for $1,000-$1,200. That is less than buying a set of 5 of the ones you linked. Even if you wanted different tires you could buy a complete set and then dismount the tires and sell them. I bet you could sell a set of decent Rubicon tires for at least $600 in an hour.........

I know people sell them but I'm looking for an all black (gloss) wheel....

I'd prefer new wheels If I could find them. I'm pretty particular (it's a curse)

For an all black you are probably looking for a Willys wheel. Re-sold are technically "used" but I have sold them from my new Jeeps with less than 50 miles on them.

...they have the same specs as a standard rubicon factory wheel...

If you happen to live in Wisconsin, I have my old Willys wheels free to you if you come and get them.

Another option for "new" is here.

17 x 8s
They are nothing special but they were all black semi glossed and simple. We put 35's on our last Willys.

These are the Mopar Performance wheels.

I can't find them any longer so I'm not sure if this post has any value unfortunately.

They were around in 2020 when we got our 2021.

i sold the wheels off my Willys to a JT guy.
Note: Willys’ wheels changed in later years (to a version i find less attractive), and were originally known as Moab wheels because that’s what they came on first.

Was there even an all black wheel option on JL Rubicons from the factory? I now there are Willy's and other models with all black wheels, but don't remember ever seeing a factory Rubicon.
Not sure if the OP wants factory wheels, or just likes the looks of them. But for $250 each for the ones he shows you can pick out a ton of different aftermarket options within the same price range.

You can find them "brand new" as people will take them off their vehicles immediately upon delivery. It'll save you a lot of money.

Otherwise just buy any black wheel you like.

Look for Willys Moab wheels. They are black rubicon wheels. Not gloss though.
