Wheel (Rim) Recommendations?
I'm looking to upgrade my wheels. I believe I have stock wheels on my 96XJ with 30x9.50x15 tires mounted. (Eventually, I'll go up to 31's.) I'd like to get some flat black wheels with enough backspacing to give it a bit of a wider stance. I could use some recommendations/ideas on making that happen.
- make/model/sources of a wheel that comes like that from the factory?
- donor vehicles to look for at the JY?
Also, I know people spray paint their wheels black. I don't mind doing that, but doesn't that come off? Do you paint it with the tires off and paint the entire thing or just the part that shows? Thanks for the input.

Im a huge fan of Ravine wheels from LJs (03-06 Wrangler Unlimiteds) on Cherokees. I was looking to buy some til I found mine with tires mounted, balanced, and still inflated at a scrapyard. I couldn't say no to 4 wheels and tires for $250. Sorry, no pics of them on my phone. Search Google Images for "Cherokee ravine wheels"

I would go for some black steel wheels, that's my next move when I need new tires. I just got the ravines because I bought my jeep with three flat dry rotted tires and I got a decent deal on the five ravines with good tires.
