I know I want some inexpensive rims so I narrowed it down to Cragar soft 8 or the Cragar D window. Which one do you guys think looks better?
It's not our jeep, it's yours. Which one do you like better?

Those were the two I was deciding between also! I went with the d window and love it. But I think the soft 8 looks better.

lol that's true. I use to really like the soft 8 but now I like the d-window better. They look good with those stock center caps also

I like the d window idk why but I think it's nicer than the soft 8's. I'm actually also contemplating what rims to get. Kinda set on the d window

That's the sidebiter right? I think they are awesome! I first saw them on Zone offroad's MJ. But since I don't have a ton of money, I'll stick with the cragars. If I did have more money to spend on rims I'd get these

Jeep Ravine wheels 15 x 8. Aluminum-Alloy
From TJ ?
Found a set of 5 $200.
They are hubcentric which fits perfect on Cherokee. None of the aftermarket wheels are, they are lug-centric.

They're from LJs, and they run ~$500 for a set. You got a steal.

Alloy wheels reduce rotating mass, increasing pep and gas mileage. By How much, I do not know.
