Alright I am about to lift and get bigger tires and am looking for some wheels. Something on the el cheapo side. I was looking at Soft 8's, now while they look great and are cheap..everyone has the black ones! Well I have found the Chrome ones at summit racing for an alright price. I was really wanting to get some Black DC-1's but I don't think the funds are going to allow that for a little while. So before I make the plunge on the Chrome Soft 8s anyone know of any other cheap wheel options out there, and even some places to look?
Ive looked on quadratec, summitracing, and jegs. I am looking for a wheel around $50-$75 tops. Thanks for any help.
Least expensive I found the DC-1s for were $459.95 from quadratec..if anyone knows where I might be able to find these cheaper even, this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
My Jeep is White.

what color is your rig?

I'm black and going with white cragers. it's different

I would go with summit cuz of free shipping. I ordered my past two sets from them. One i picked up, and the other was delivered.

I agree with Kyle, black wheels on white XJ look amazing. But you also don't see anyone do the silver soft 8s. So in the interest of being unique, I say go for it!

Yea, I love the Black Soft 8's especially on white. I think though it has just been done to many times and I guess in some way I do want to look a little different if possible. I think I am going to go with the Powder Coated ones, they look pretty good and are still in the price range.
To the guy that asked price they are only $224.31 from summit that is shipping+ center caps.
Again thanks for the input guys.

i dont like the Soft 8s, i dont like the circular cut outs, i think the regular rock crawler rims look better, they look more rugged i think. Such as the American Racing 727s or copies
