I kinda like the silver ones. Either is good choice.

OEM Rubicon wheels like pictured below look great with some larger tires...

They are going to chip like a mother if you don't put on a flat clear.

I think they look better, but they are stock steelies. It's like saying, hey I got some new seat covers for my '89 Crown Vic. They may look "better", but I mean come on.

Def clear coat those things though.

And paint the center pieces.

Those do look good. Like i said before, im completely broke and i wanted to make the rims look a little better (there was a little rust). It only cost me four dollars to do the whole thing.

The Rubicon (Moab) wheels cost an arm and a leg. They also won't work right when installed on a stock Cherokee without some trimming or some lift.

The wheels looks good painted KG. Like some others said, I would paint the center caps too and spray some clear on them.

Have a good one,
Justin

Semi-Flat Black would look a lot better, I think totally flat looks too chalky (if that makes sense).

Better though.
