Anyone have any idea what brand these rims are??

Thanks

Thank you for taking time to do what I just figured out -- I didn't think it would work so well!!

Thoughts on putting these along with a 3 or 4 in Lift on my daughter's 2018 JL Wrangler Sahara??

Well, it sure won’t improve handling and driving on the street….more unsprung weight never helps.

Yeah, image recognition has gotten scary good.

Does she plan on taking it off-road? If so, the lack of sidewall from 22 inch wheels is not going to do the ride any favors, and will add unsprung weight. If you're off-roading, stick with 17 inch wheels.

She is 95% or more road!! LOL but she likes that "look". Wonder if there is a similar look in 17in that would obviate the problems mentioned? Just wanted to shoot for at lest 35 in tires (my other daughter has a "leveled" Rubicon that looks great with 35's) -- but adding another inch or so with a 3 or 4 in lift kit , I thought would make it look even better.

It will be worse on road and off road with no gain in performance whatsoever. It will look tacky, and she will hate driving it after the new wears off.

Ok. Thanks

any suggestions on a similar “look” custom rim and suggestions on a lift?

she needs new tires and is set on getting something more aggressive looking than her stock tires
But because of travel needs to make decision this week

Don’t make the decision this week then. Rushing to a decision could be very expensive.

A 3-4” lift on a sport is a HUGE amount of lift. It would look silly on 35’s. 17 or 18 inch wheels in a C rating will maintain ride quality and have tons of options in tires and wheels.

Those wheels in an 18” would look good. 18’s will of course be stiffer than 17’s but nothing near like any E rated 20”.

I would look for a 2”-2.5” lift with good quality shocks for a daily driver.

Oh nevermind I missed the 4 inch lift part.
The 4 inch lift isn’t set in stone for sure
Just considering
Did the leveling kit on my other daughter’s Jeep and it probably lifted a couple inches. She was thinking a slightly more lift on her Jeep. That’s where the 3 or 4 came from

A 4” lift on a JL is a monster truck.
