I find the Billet a interesting color. We did a test drive in one that had just been washed- JLU Sahara Altitude and it looked like the paint was still wet and flowing. When we went back to a dealer to look at colors, due to the recent weather and a day off for the dealer, the jeeps were unwashed- and the Billet definitely loses a lot with some winter grime on it. Not nearly as striking. Considering this will be our third car and not garaged, we are inclined to go with white since it looks better clean and dirty. I really like the Billet, but I wonder if it is like Black- great looking when clean, but not as striking when dirty. Silvers stay WAY better than black dirty, I was just surprised how much pop Billet lost.

Am I wrong?
Yes your wrong !!! White will show the grime much more quickly . Billet looks good regardless .

First post, new member here. Ordered my ā€˜21 JLUR on Friday...4-6 week turn time, so Iā€™ve been told. Billet Silver and fully optioned for the most part with the notable exception of leather seats. May add some Katzkins at some point. I ordered a black Sahara for my daughter in October and took delivery in late Novemberā€”have been so impressed that I am trading my Mercedes in for the Rubicon. :like:

What do yā€™all think? Keep the black rhinos or switch to the Mopar performance wheels (2 door not mine, stolen from earlier in this thread :) )

Mainly would be for the positive offset purposes. Would like a little less wheel poke

Not sure Iā€™m sold on the switch to silver...

Keep the black rhinos. Coveys attitude & off road. The Mopars say mall crawler to me.

Since you are asking for opinions, my vote goes to the silver Mopars.

That's just me but I generally prefer a more tucked in look for all but the largest tires (38" plus). And seeing the way these actually look, I would even consider going with these Mopar rims for my own rig. They are 17x8s, right?

If the $ isn't an issue, I like the Silver look better
Hoping I could get somewhat close to breaking even selling the Rhinos

Appreciate all opinions! I am seriously torn...

Your Black Rhinos do look really good. If only they made the Black Rhinos with same size and offset as the Mopars, right?
Thank you, as far as any aftermarket wheel goes they're probably hands down my favorite. I am just a sucker for the OEM+ look!

There's no wrong decision. Whichever you choose, it will look fantastic!

2019 JLU Sahara Billet Silver
Just joining the group, love the Billet color. I've added LED headlights, fog lights, and taillights, next step is fender lights/DRLs to complete the LED changeover. Happy to be here! And if anyone ends up with a body color hard top and freedom panels that they want to part with, let me know (I'm in central Illinois but I could pick up).
