I'm not real fond of my cragars. They've got some rust on them and the chrome finish isn't really doing it for me.

I'm looking right now at these two wheels...

What do you guys suggest and what fits on 2001 XJ?

Try Black Rock wheels, they are cheap and look good as well, both steel and alloy,

The ATX if it's a street DD. If it's going to be modded, get the steel wheels and spend the money you save on other things.

I like the stock XJ wheels you found for 550 shipped. Not a bad deal.

Yea but those tires suck and buying 16R tires is much more expensive than 15R.

They're nice but on closer inspection I think they've got some scratches and some minor rust. Plus it'd be a pain to finding a matching spare. It's really a tough call.

Yea but a 16 in tire comes with a stronger sidewall than a 15 in does. Thats what made me go with 16's
