Wheel width for 37x12.5R17...

[Halstem1]

I run the Quadratec wheel, and haven't had any issues with the finish holding up. They are pretty lightweight, allow the use of factory lug nuts, and are hubcentric. The only downside is they too easily pass for a stock wheel, so no points for looking cool.

I don't know. I think yours look pretty cool. I just really like a clean OE look. Debating between the ones you have and the all black 'JK Recon" wheel. Only looking because I want something wider for the 37" tire and these are checking a lot of boxes. Might have to try it.

I have the same wheels on my jeep. Love them but man are they heavy and the plastic faux ring is pretty fragile.

This might be the route I go to keep that OEM look and not too much offset. And man, super affordable. Makes me question quality and how they hold up to harsh winter conditions. Curious of any feedback from those that have them.

Well if you want to wait a few days, I will give you my first impressions of overall quality...I just ordered a set of 5 Machined Black Hardrock wheels.
Girlfriend or Wifey for you married guys, will likely never even notice you bought your 'other' baby shiny new shoes

How are these wheels holding up for you?

Overall I like them and for the price they are a good value; fairly lightweight, balanced well and I definitely feel the additional wheel width (7.5" to 8.5") was an improvement and fit the 35" KO2's better and the backspacing (5.2") works well.
They are called 'Machined / Satin Black' but the 'Machined' areas look more flat silver than machined and the satin black is a little flat...Would look much better IMO if they had the same 'pop' as the OEM Rubi wheels...Still not bad though!

@Bud90 - Did you paint the willy's or put a sticker on the quadratec wheel?

This is most likely the route I am going to go then. I love the factory wheel, and the '41s are very close. The sticker was my plan..glad to see someone else blazed the trail for me already.

I am installing the 3.5" Maximus GeoLift as soon as it arrives, and then I am upgrading to 37" BFG A/T's . Have you noticed any rubbing at all? With the offset of +10mm, I figured the only issue I would have is mud being slung up the sides worse than it does now, and thats not a big deal.

Very minor rubbing at full flex off road on plastic inners
