Wheel suggestions

[Neohiofan]

I’ve narrowed down my choices to a couple different wheels and looking for others opinions on look and function. I have an ocean blue 19 Rubicon. It’ll have a 2” spacer lift with 37 x 12.5 r17 nitto ridge grapplers. I eventually want to put a 2.5” Rock Krawler or metalcloak lift on it. I do not want to run wheel spacers.

I’m afraid these wheels will rub

I’d like the racelines and can get them at a great price but it’s a heavier wheel and I may possible driving the Jeep from Ohio to Georgia for a year for work till my daughter graduates from high school.
I like the mopar beadlocks over the racelines because they are lighter but like I said the offset and backspacing worry me. I had a nice JK for rock Krawlin but traded it in for a JL and better gas mileage. I will still be off-roading but not to the extent I used to so not sure the beadlocks are necessary.

For starters, maybe reconsider #3... search CarID in the forums for reasons why.

They're all good selections, but if you're scaling back the off-roading, it seems as though you've already made a decision away from functional beadlocks. Some poo-poo the simulated, but they're less expensive and who cares what others think? I surely don't... I recently installed a set of Method MR312's in the bronze & I'm satisfied with them. Black is too popular for me, and the bronze looks good on the black & your ocean blue (I'm firecracker red)..

No lift or monster truck tires here, since I'm still getting accustomed to stepping way up into the thing. I kept the stock tires, and knew I wanted bronze with an offset that wouldn't stick the wheels out too much, so I went with 0.

My only mistake was allowing the dealer to do the install. I've never struggled to get lug nuts off a wheel. It took a lug wrench & banging it with Mjolnir (ok, it was a mallet) to bang the splines loose so I could torque them properly.

Good luck on your final selection, and may The Force be with you.

So, what did you get? I personally like the modern style of xd wheels like the xd134 and xd229.

I really like the xd 127 bully but still looking at raceline beadlocks that are close to same price.
