Me and the wife think they look good so that's all that really matters.
It seems that everyone around here cares what everyone else thinks about their stuffs. That's way behind me.

I'm confused; you're buying the tires and rims pictured for the ride?
Not because the rims pictured in this post look better than the rims in the OP?
Because the rims in the ad have street tires and your current rims don't?

They're $350 for 5 tires and rims. FIVE !!!
I couldn't buy 4 tires for that.
That being said, I'll have over the road tires and rims, and beach tires and rims.
The ones on there now are fugly imo, and ride like crap on the street.

That's what I was getting at = C5 wagon wheels.
Street rims and tires, off road rims and tires.
Figure out which will do the most duty and put/leave the black rims for that.

The wheels in the CL ad are stock Rubicon wheels. IMHO, they look infinitely better than the stock Sport wheels he's got.

And the springs and shocks + 5 rims and tires.
Excellent deal for those rims even if no tires were included.

Ya, I think the new ones will stay on. I can still drive the beach, and take trips with them. The tires on there now aren't really conducive to extended road trips.

Once I get a feel of the Goodyears, I'll know which I'll keep on there.
I suspect the Goodyears though.

This thread went downhill fast.

Looks like the wheels will be a nice addition. Design on a dime. I like it.

Score !
No blemishes on the tires and they have 2 years left on them easy
The wheels are perfect too.
I can't believe it.
Some beach baller looking to unload them because of his lift and bigger tires.
Thank you Eric !

Wait until 65 to retire? Have fun with that Stevo.

Oh, and if you weren't embarrassed, you'd have posted a pic of your baller house.

You're all talk and no walk.
Good on ya Jeff, nothing wrong with any of that.
