I hate those wheels. Too much metal and not enough tire.

Jeeps make about 200 or so hp stock, 149 rwhp (rear wheel horsepower) is about right.

and i guarantee you those wheels and tires cost more than the entire jeep.

Those are KMC Rockstars. I had those on my 05 Ram 1500 4-5 years ago. They are Sooooooo played out now. I have sensed sold the ram and glad I did. Loving my XJ way better. And he's running like 22's with 37" tires. It looks pretty stupid if you ask me. That XJ is not for off road use with that tire wheel combo. Its strictly a MALL CRAWLER!

That and he's running a D35 with 37s and boost, the wheels just adds onto it. Look like he was running coil springs in the rear though.

You get five free Ed Hardy designed Tshirts and a year supply of AXE body spray with the purchase of those wheels. Those are douchey looking wheels.

The thing is, you can probably have a stroker built making twice as much power for about the same price.

I think it's funny he put a supercharger on, but probably never bothered to regear the axles.
