Ya know I'd get some but something tells me white rims with a white jeep just would look hmm silly oh wait I have white honey comb rims and it does look silly.. With certain colors they do look nice...I love them on the waggys...seems to fit a waggy real well..

I like these wheels but hate chrome..

Well with a white jeep your only really choice for a decent look IMHO is black or maybe polished aluminum..Chrome or white would just wash out..

Just remember what we always said about the flashy motorcycles was "Chrome won't get you home." So bling up your Jeep and you will be nominated.

OKC, perhaps a set of the Limited's "Gold Lace" (Gold Honeycomb) rims?

I had the GM version of what you have right now on my Cutlass Ciera Coupe wrapped with 235/60R14's spun by a 3.8L V6 SFI(FWD)...sweet. Too bad I kept having to get new drive tires every 2mo.--> Long-Pedal Syndrome

I hate the rims I have..If that damn 2" lift kit would sell I could get my new wheels..had the lift sold but then buyer dissapeared and never responded so had to nix the wheels order.. I want my darn soft 8's...I saw a white jeep paint wise setup how I plan on doing mine and it looks nice..

I came so close to getting them...



Summitracing has this computer program at their store where you can choose your vehicle and then choose the wheel to view it on the vehicle before you buy it. They looked kinda cool on my black xj. They had one hanging on the wall so i got a good look at it. It looks pretty good IMO.

Ok.
Today, the schedule worked out perfect.

Came home after cashing paycheck and lo and behold...there they were.
On the front porch.

Ran to tire installer.
Came home w/o wheels and tires on Cherokee, rather in back.
Ran and got some decent lugs.

Came home.
Put them on.


What follows is mainly for Mudd's enjoyment, but everyone else can look.

Stock:




Comparing old and new:


OK MUDD.....





Now, Mudd... Did that feel gooooood?

I know... I need center caps.

NEW: Have the starting DW syndrome. Gotta get under there and remedy that.

Dude, nice ****! This should be placed in that "well formed exits" thread.

Leave it that way and drive around for a few days (disco the front shaft first!)

The white goes really well with your jeep. It came out better than i thought.
