RP_Offroad, Some guys just don't like 20" wheels on Jeeps. I went with Americam Racing Mojave 20" on my Wrangler and I get flamed all the time by the "soft 8" crew. I like soft 8's a lot but with larger tires the 20" wheel does just fine.

actually jerry i tend to like the soft 8s or similar black wheels but with your tire/wheel setup i dont think 20s were a bad idea at all. its not like ur sittin on low pro's.

I think it looks good. 4wd for some people is to get through the snow.

For a street XJ, I personally think it looks pretty tight. I know that this is mostly the 4x4 crowd in here, but honestly I bet 50% of Jeep owners never ever take them offroad. For those who don't, this is a good look... and as someone before posted, it looks modern.
Interesting, but not my personal taste. I prefer the stock wheels on most Jeeps. My own personal fav is the Moab's.
PS I also have a thing for the Soft 8's and the D Windows too.... they just look proper on a Jeep.

I like soft 8's for what I do, shiny aluminum wheels look awful with rockrash. His jeep looks nice for a street queen.

Seconded. $200 dollar wheels each are pointless when i paid the same for my 5 cragar v5s. That i love. I havent seen any other wheels i would like.

I kinda like it. Tires look nice with it, not to bulky yet still far away from the lick of paint style low pros.
I'm not going to lie, my jeep sees MUCH more pavement then dirt, but I built it to run as a DD yet still let me duck down a rutted out slick logging road with ease.
