I have been thinking about putting the new Rubicons on (not my XJ but mine is exactly like it), or the old 16 inch ones. I tried to find the right view of the rims- I don't think that they look too bad.
What do you all think?

I would use some Spidertrax if I decided on the newer ones or I can continue to search for the 16 inch ones, but they are hard to find. Every time that I get a line on a set they are snatched up already!!!

Ive had these since '07 and just sold them a few weeks ago but I think they looked ok plus they dont stick out 8" from the body so running fenderless has never been an issue with the man (in WA). The biggest downfalls for the 17s is tires cost about $100 more (each), and you have to run at a different air pressure than a 15" wheel when wheeling. Other than that I liked them a lot but they do look better with a 35" tire on them, and black, IMO.
