Default Looking for some nice 16" wheels

So, I'm in the market for a set of 16" wheels to go with my 32" tires. I'm not a fan of black wheels and to be honest I really like the look of stock wheels (i.e. Moab 16" wheels or Ravine 15" wheels) but from what I hear some of the stock wheels like the Moab wheels are much heavier than a comparable aftermarket wheel.

So, I'm interested to see what you guys are running for 16" wheels. As mentioned, I would like something that has a stock looking appearance, not black, and preferably (though it's not a must) somewhat lighter than a stock wheel if possible.

Let's see them! I've already browsed all of Tire Rack but didn't find anything I really liked.

I don't have pictures but American Racing wheels are pretty popular and relatively affordable. Theres plenty of styles, sizes and colors.

I'm very familiar with American Racing. None of their wheels though have that 'stock' look to them that I'm going for. Perhaps my best bet is ultimately just a set of stock Moab wheels but I just figured I would ask incase anyone on here knew about some wheels that maybe I didn't.

I have the Ravine wheels. They are half the weight as American Racing alloys that I had previously.
Have pictures if you're interested.

I run the factory grey "icon" wheels, they're 16". There is a grey center with machined lip and an all silver one. I think they came on some 2000-2001 XJ's.

The silver was the stock rim on the Limited model of the 2000 XJ. I believe it made it onto other trim levels of the 2001 as a dealer option. There is also a reddish colored version of that rim.

I think that gray one with the silver lip was used on something else. That's not an XJ in the photo you posted.

ETA: Found it. Those gray/silver ones were used on the Jeep Liberty Renegade.

My 2001 Limited came stock with silver icons. Wish I'd kept them.

I'm fond of my Ravines. I like the look of the TJ version the Moabs, but not so much of the later and flattter JK Moabs. I even found an extra set so my spare matches, and I'm going to put two of the Ravines on my 5x10 trailer so it matches the XJ. Curious why you're so concerned about weight...
