Wheels can make or break any vehicle IMO. These are definitely wrong! My buddy snapped this picture near Lexington, KY. Somebody made an effort to make these wheels so wrong. Sorry if this is your XJ

What is wrong with Orange? I like that as well. Had a pickup that was painted orange and black (Harley colors) and it was very cool.

I always liked the rattle caned black steels like what I did to mine. Once you go black you never go back



Besides black has always been a formal color

I'm a "rattle-can gray" kind of guy, myself.

But I think those anodized-ish orange wheels would look nice on something other than a red jeep. maybe orange and brown or black.
