Honestly?....I would love to step up to 35's......but not yet.....
1.) I dont QUITE have the lift for 35's....
2.) I Definitely dont have the axles.
3.) I most CERTAINLY dont have the gearing,
4.) And Walker Evans Beadlocks are gonna be about 1k more than I wanna spend right now.
But tell ya what......I like y'all so much, I let you buy them for me!
In all seriousness, here's the direction I'm leaning towards......
(right now - just like the weather here, wait five min and it'll change)
Ever since the Jeep got retired to toy status, I have been toying around with the idea of going with some steelies.
I'm really on the fence with that whole thing right now anyways, as most of the steel wheels out there are black.
IF I WERE to go with steel wheels.... I have always had a soft spot for the Crager V-5 style.
Since I have a black Jeep...the black wheels (like the standard "Soft-8" style) have never looked quite right to me....too much black on a black Jeep.....
The V-5's though...in their "Silver" finish (color matches the Eco-5 and/or the Ravines color pretty close, look perfect...they provide a nice contrast.
And they just look plain MEAN with some big meat on them!
The above picture (second) is from a write up
HERE ON where a guy took these wheels and modified them to accept an OEM center cap
(eliminating the large bulgy plastic chrome one that they come with)
I really like the look of that, and If I were to ever go this route, I would highly consider doing the same thing.... I would also weld on some wheel protectors or "rim stiffeners"....something KIND OF like these:
Or more like THESE:
But most likely and probably something like THESE:
The problem with all this?
The silver V5's are discontinued in the 15x8 variety.
....so back to square 1.
