great looking wheel. I’m looking at this exact one. Do you have the functional bead lock ring or the simulated one? I noticed 2 different wheel caps for this wheel on their website, The one you have, and there’s another one that sticks way out. I can’t figure out why there are two options. Also, what backspace did you go with?

not mine but will answer. Not positive but looks like rash ring not beadlock. The other center cap you see on their website is for 8 lug wheel. This how them come in box.

Thanks for the reply. Ordered! Will post pics once I get everything installed, including the lift. Have to wait awhile because I have the dreaded diff oil-filled sensor problem to deal with at the repair shop. (Locker fault)

Great. Sorry to hear about sensor. Hopefully gets taken care soon.

Hi...I ordered on June 12...received an email on 7/6 that it will be at the dealer in 2-4 business days....I went with the tech group, the all terrain tires, the granite wheels, the safety group and heritage tan seats...

I just sold a pair of these…. Those are in fact the rash rings not Beadlock rings. I don't recall what I paid for the rings, but I wanna say between $80-$150 per ring. I like the wheels, didn’t balance out as well as my KMCs which are heavier.

thanks. I like the idea of being able to level up to functional beadlocks without buying all new wheels. Hopefully I will balance ok. Going to 37’s. Not sure which ones yet. I’ve heard tires play a big role in balancability. I was going to the cheaper milestar’s, but have read they don’t always balance well.

changed up the look of my rig a bit. I’m very happy with the EVO 1/4lbs stinger, fit very well on my GenRight Stubby. I think it looks better on this bumper with the angled corners vs the boxed ends of the 1/4 pounder.

Motobilt tire carrier installed to match my Motobilt rear bumper

I’m on my 3rd set of 37 inch Milestars now…… zero complaints.

Firecracker is a great color! Here's my wife's '18 JLUS. Factory ordered and delivered in May of 2018.

Top down/doors off mode.

My son and I are trying to convince her to let us swap in Rubicon springs/shocks and 33's when the OEM Goodyears need to be replaced.

Just my 2 cents…. I wouldn’t waste my time or money on that. If you’re going to spend any money or time on her rig, at least make it 35’s, and a spacer lift….

It really depends on the desired end result.

A lift and 35's will change the way the Jeep drives. A Rubicon suspension and 33's will keep the driving experience closer to stock.

What does the driver of the Jeep want? She will be the one driving it everyday.
