I painted mine with Krylon a year ago and they still look good. Prep is the key.

Another positive for Krylon. I painted a new set about 4 years ago, and they still look good. Maybe not show quality, but good.
I just purchased these and they look awesome. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009XV0KXO/?tag=wranglerorg-20
My opinion based on doing this twice and lasting quite awhile.. DON'T SAND! Once you lose the original texture and make them smooth, you'll have a harder time keeping the topcoat intact and durable for a decent amount of time. I know the factory painted ones are smooth as a baby's ass but that's not what we're talking about. If they have texture, degrease the crap out of them and get every bit of armor all, tire shine, suntan oil.. whatever you put on them over the years to shine them up. Then degrease the crap out of them again, prime, topcoat. Once the texture is gone, get new ones.
You are correct. I run 35x10.5 tires and the flares are about an inch wider than the tires on a 4.75” backspaced wheel. Perfect in my mind.
Isn’t it great to live in a country where you can do what you like with your Jeep and I can do what I like with mine!
