Not bad. Looks pretty good. The 5-star wheels are one of the best on TJ’s due to the Moab wheel which is classic TJ.
Thoughts on these JL wheels for my silver TJ

I'm still shaking my head and trying to catch my breath.
Edit... My post above that was BEFORE I had even seen the "new" wheel pic!
A guy on f/b is trying to sell new wheels and tires never mounted.all from 2017.i thought these were the worst wheels I ever saw until the sellers above!looks like it’s been in a fire?
now i need to get adapters. 1.5" seems to be the size that makes sense, but I do want to stick out ever slightly past the flares. so maybe a 2"....
And if i should go ahead with the adapter that has the M14 studs, or go with 1/2" studs and use the larger flanged lugs. I am sure that will have some stronger opinions. The original wheels are 1/2, so I could lean each way especially since they are hubcentric. And getting the 1/2' studs allows more options in the future.

I just saw a set of those locally. If you like them, get them. That's all that matters.

I have 5 admittedly different 17” for free, 4 with decent rubber on them [Goodyear Wranglers]. Seriously. Take them.

We are running out of beadlock options in 15 inch,and tires too,tjs look right on 15s,pretty soon we’re all gonna be running around on pattys
He is right.
Picked up a set of 5 JLR wheels with new 33" KO2s for $900. This is running 2" adapters, and they sit flush on the 6" metalcloak fenders/flares.
JL 392 w/ 35's on 3.5" lift. I would tend to agree that 17's are to big until you get to 35" tires.
I'm in the process of swapping in JLR axles and picked up 5 of these FB market for 200, shouldn't need spacers since the axles are 68", and hopefully soak up the 6" backspacing. This will just be temporary but I don't hate how it looks.
Mocked up picture just to see... I only had one wheel mounted in order to mock this up.

Well here's how she turned out. Pretty close to the render. Now I def need to lift the front, but probably need to do the whole thing. Also need to pull and paint the drums.
