MOAB Wheels on Rubicon.

[grady2hig]

Anybody ever swap the Rubicon wheels for the black MOAB ones? Would that look better...or just keep the ones I have.

I think the black would look good and I wouldnt judge you! You do have the best looking stock tire already though to me!

Could always paint those Rubis black too! Or a dark gunmetal for some contrast against the tire.

Same wheel, different color. I'm with you, I wish they'd offer the all black wheel on Rubicon. Ironically, that's exactly what the Rubi had on it at the JL debut, but it hasn't been offered.

PS> I'm guessing that it will eventually be offered, but only on a special edition Rubicon, or not until they change the wheels to a completely different style.

Seen the black Moab wheels put on a Sting grey rubi. Looked great.

I'm not a fan of black wheels so I'd keep the wheels you have. However, color of rims is just like the color of the Jeep itself. There's no right/wrong choice because it depends on what YOU like. If you like black wheels go for it, and don't worry if others think it's too much or not.

go buy some satin black plasti dip and do your stock wheels. then you can see if you like the look. and not even have to buy any moab wheels lol.

You could do that easily and about 3-4 cans should suffice, Duplicolor also has a similar product in higher gloss if that's the finish you prefer, I used it for my side Jeep emblems and worked well.

Someone sells black decals for the rubi rims. I personally like the two tone though.

I actually swapped my older JK wheels & tires to my 18 Rubicon when I traded it in. I really didn’t like the new Rubi wheels, but I will put the bigger size BFG’S back on when these are done.

Following! I’m contemplating doing the same but want to see how it looks with the Punk’n color because I LOVE the stock Rubicon wheels and the silver sticks out a little too much.

All black wheels are boring!!!!

Aren’t the MOAB wheels just a tad narrower? Not sure if they have the same offset, either.

 

[Shots]

Nope, they're the same. 17x7.5 +44.
The OEM tires were a bit narrower at 255/75/17 rather than 285/70/17, but if you're putting your original tires on it there will be no change.
