Uncovered 2018 Wrangler JLU Rubicons hit the streets!

So these are the stock wheels? If so, just need to have them painted black. They look fantastic in all black.

Plasti Dip! My JK has it. It looks great and protects them from road salt.

Looks like the Jeep badge on the side has a red accent to it as well.

I hate the red outlines on the letter in especially on grey colors

Agreed, it looks tacky.

Ok, plastidip looks easy enough to do. How long does that last? Does it rub off easily?

 

[DanW]

Not long. It takes about 1 can per wheel to get the necessary thickness. Mine has been on 3 or 4 years, no tears or rips. Touch free car washes or high pressure wands don't bother it. It doesn't fade or dull, either.

Yeah I can see that not aging well with time.

Now all I need is a comparison shot stock JKUR next to a JLUR lets see them side by side.

I plasti-dipped my wheels in AZ. I had a different result. Looks good fresh but it can start to fade and peel overtime. This could be due to the extreme heat. One thing you should mention is you need to prime the rims before you apply it. I forget what but you run a substance on it so the plastidip sticks better.

Also. if you're and avid off-roader then you'll be reapplying more often

The best would be powder coat. Have them bead blasted & powder coated.

Now I am thinking of getting a 2 door Rubicon in Granite. I was thinking Black but the Granite shows some of the black trim better and
looks great in these pics.

It does just fine. The stickers are UV resistant. You can also put Turtle Wax Ice over stickers and it protects them very well from UV rays. I actually like the red outline to it. My JK Rubicon stickers are 10 years old and look like brand new, other than one spot where a branch scratched one off road.

Any Sport pictures out there? All these Rubicon pics are making me wish I ordered one!
