I think most wranglers look good with the black wheels (that's what came stock on this rig). but most of the Hella-Yella Wranglers I see have black wheels on them... its a safe modern look, I get it. But I wanted to be different, so I chose to go back to that classic look for my first & maybe last Rubicon. I researched so many photos (old & new) and could not find many other color wheels showing with my JLR color. Like I said, there are lots of new black wheel examples and lots with old chrome but not much more. So I took a leap of faith that the Jeep Performance Silver/Carbon wheel with OWL BFGs would give me that "old-school, so-cool" look. I am 100% happy with the way this one is coming together in my garage.

To start out, I have a very very low opinion of wheels over 17" on anything outside of a 1 ton truck...

However, those are some stupid cool wheels! What series are they?
Thanks! Moto Metal Buckshot is the series. Unfortunately the smallest size they made was 20” and although I wanted the satin black version (hahaha) , I was happy to get a hold of the other version right when they were being discontinued. For what its worth I shoot shotguns professionally and am sponsored so this look was a no brainer for me. I usually don’t post photos because I know how most feel about the size and finish but this thread roped me and convinced me to post. 😉

After having bead locks for many years, I'd never have anything but a silver ring. The painted rings get trashed and are too noticeable. I take a flap disc to my TR rings every time a tire is dismounted.

Curious what grit disc you are using and what the outcome looks like...... pics?

Does this count?!?

Even without the mud, they're Anthracite (gunmetal) not black.
