Default Wheel Thread

I'm looking for some wheels for my '99 and I'd like to see some examples if possible.

I'm leaning towards the AR Bajas:




So if you're running a set of those on your XJ, please post up some pics

Now I'm not a fan of these wheels normally, as they're played out and I really don't care for the design in general - but, a set can be had around me for dirt cheap so I'd like to see what they look like mounted up on an XJ if anybody runs them.



I'm open to other suggestions as well. I'm most likely going to keep the Jeep at stock height and stuff the biggest tire I can in there - nothing to crazy obviously. My Jeep is the light Blue - not sure what the actual name of it is. I'll have some pictures up tonight after I get my new HU installed. Thanks!

Please for the sake of your jeep dont run the tri spokes go with the steelies they are cheap for the look and the tri spokes are more a samurai thing.

Thanks for the pics guys! Yeah I'm going to pass on the tri spokes.

I did consider running the Soft 8s, but again I feel like they are almost getting to the point of being played out. Out of the 2-3 Jeeps around my area, two of them are running soft 8s. One is the exact same color as mine lol

I really like the AR Bajas so I think I'll be buying those if I don't find something else I fall in love with. I think they'll look pretty sharp on the light blue color of my XJ. Keep on posting wheel pics, might see something else I like more!

I like both those Cragars that have been posted. That's a sharp looking Jeep jmm. I get **** for it all the time, but I'm a sucker for white letters out.
