Anyone else a fan of white "wagon wheels"? Gives a nice old school feel in my opinion. Just got these in and hope to order a set of BFG KM3's in 35x12.5r15 in the next few weeks.

Plus, they'll look great when I'm towing my trailer! 😆

Had them on my TJ / beach buggy.
Loved the look but they started to rust

See the before and after. (4years With Salt conditions)

Man, they do look great new. The ones on my trailer are for sure a bitch to keep clean though.🤣

The black center caps look nice. I've been looking for an option other than chrome.
 
For the originals I'd say that a nice small bead of white silicone would help prevent the ring of rust. Unfortunately that wasn't available back then.

And I don't want to put down the wheels that started this thread but I will also say that a nice small bead of white silicone would do a nice job of hiding the less than acceptable paint job that seems to be inviting the ring of rust to show up.

I wish I had kept these rims when I sold the truck.

No offense taken. To be honest, I was a little miffed at the paint job when I saw it. Great suggestion!

I may still have them if you want them. Need to go dig through the shed.

Can’t imagine shipping would be too bad

Man, that's a kind offer! No rush, no hurry, but if you stumble on them and they'll fit in a flat rate box, I'll pay you for the shipping.
