I chose mine based on functionality. I wanted the ability to air way down but I did not want bead locks. So, I went with Method Racing Bead Grips. I couldn't find anything else that was nearly as functional for that.

I went with the TeraFlex Nomads for the rapid deflators, the knurled inner edges to hold the tire edges on the wheel better when aired down, the protected valve stem, the replaceable rash guards, the offset, lightweight, easy to clean, and because they look rad.

That's a sick wheel for sure!!! My brother has same wheel but in titanium on his 2018 JLUR in arctic silver. Looks damn good there too!!
I thought about doing the silver ones. Hides the trail rash much better.

but somehow ended up with black pairs. So for I like the way it looks.

Yes many if not all are hub centric. What you're looking for is a 71.5 hub bore. If you go on their site you'll see it under the vehicle fitments section of each wheel. As for specifics...I'm going for peer pressure and saying GET BRONZE! I think they look INCREDIBLE against the blue. My wife wants a blue jeep eventually and she doesn't want bronze wheels but you bet your a$$ I'm going to keep pushing hoping she caves haha!

I've included some jeep porn for reference.

I like the Icon Alloy rebound pro. Internal bead lock. Street legal (DOT approved). We have a lot of rocky terrain and need to be able to air down. Mine are satin black.
2-1/2” RC lift and 315/70R 17 with 4-1/2” backspacing

You can spend ~$80 on onx off road elite membership and get 25% off Method wheels which will put your cost for 5 less than 4. I knew I wanted bronze and the bead grips sounded interesting and liked the look of the 703s and got that hella good deal and couldnt pass it up.
I’m looking at those or 704s to replace my oem wheels. What width and offset did you get? Also what tires and size are you running? Thanks.

I don’t blame you, Rockstar wheels were a thing 25 years ago, but have become quite cheezy.

Black is always a sure thing as it matches every exterior colors. Bronze look good on burgundy, white and black, but is definitely a trend on its way out.

I recommend you look at Black Rhino wheels, they have different offsets, are hubcentric on Jeep applications and depending on the model, fairly light. My 17x8.5 only weight 27lbs.

Good luck.

I went with the -12 and 9.5 wide ones wrapped in 315s. If I were to to it all over againI think I would end up with the +0 8.5s.
