Hey everyone, i'm trying to decide between a few sets of wheels for my black 00 XJ. I'm definitely going with black steel wheels. The choices are as follows.

Black Rock Series 950

$55/wheel

Quadratec: Image Zoom

Black Rock Series 916

$55/wheel

Quadratec: Image Zoom

Cragar D window

$50/wheel

Cragar 3425750 - Cragar Black D Window Wheels - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Or the ever popular Cragar Soft 8

$40/wheel

Any other wheels in this price range are welcome too! Thanks JF people!

The cragar series are tough wheels, ive had a set of black soft 8's on my Nissan for about 3 years now and they have been through mortal hell and havent bent or busted or hurt them at all! They are tough. Ive been pondering on the same thing for my Jeep, id get another set of soft 8's, but i dont want to have 2 4wheel drives with the same wheels on em. My two selections of wheels are the Black Rock D-Window wheels, or the new Black Rock 950 Lobo's. But considering the D-Window wheels along with Soft 8's are everywhere now days, i do believe ill be going with the 950's.. Diffrent is good!..
