i'm interested in those same two wheels. Did you end up with either? I'd like to see pics of both installed on a JL as well.

I don't know if this helps either of you, but I had a similar wheel to the Quadratec Moab installed on my 2012 JK Rubicon. My wheels were actually the Mamba MR1's, which were a knock-off of the original TJ Rubicon Moab wheels.

Here's a pic of my 2012 JK Rubi with the Mamba MR1 (17" x 8" with 4.75" back spacing) running a 285/70/17 BFG KM2.

If you like those wheels they look great, however I found that the JL Sports 17 x 7.5 Tech Silver Aluminum painted gloss black with a different color for the JEEP center caps (mine are red) looks like the old JK RECON wheels only better.

A set of these for sale are plenty and cheap and they are OEM, very light weight and I am running 33'' Rubicon take off tires on these sport rims.
Rims are 7.5 wide with 2in spacers.

Gives the appearance of a wider tire and rim combo plus adds a wider track for stability.
I get more comments on these than I do the OEM Rubicon wheels and tires.

Just had them put on my 2018 Sport S JLU two weeks ago. Yesterday was first time off the road. When really crossed up there was an ever so slight rub at the rear not enough to worry about. Mounted with 285 70/17 Wildpeak All Terrains. They look great. For the money can't be beat...

I had a set of Quadratec Moabs on my 2013 Rubicon. Quadratec makes affordable wheels that are excellent quality, lightweight, spec-correct, and look factory.

I also had a set of Quadratec ‘41s on my 2018 Recon

I thought the sport rims were "ok" until I saw them in black, then they became my favorite of the stock rims... I'm probably picking up a set this weekend to replace my steelies, but I'll likely just plastidip them until I can spring for powder coat.

Plasti Dip is good until you can get them powder coated. Lots of layers, 5 cans and apply Vaseline to each tire on the Jeep, remove center cap and spray.
I picked up a new set and having them powdered coated to a new Monochrome Red.

That’s a nice look. What size tire are you running? 285/70/r17? Are you running spacers with that? Sticks out pretty far from fender.
