16" Wheel Options?

[Chris]

Curious to know if anyone out there is running 16" wheels, and if so what wheels you're running?

I've been toying with the idea of replacing my stock Moab wheels, but I need a 16" to clear the Vanco big brake kit. In addition to that, I DO NOT want steel wheels!

I've been looking at the Pro Comp style 7069 as it is an alloy wheel and it's 16x8. However, I'm curious if there's anything else out there.

I use the Ion Alloy 174, but the large chrome center caps mysteriously all "broke" one weekend.

These were a compromise. I wanted 15" black wheels and my wife wanted 17" or 18" wheels with bling.

This is what they look like with the giant center caps.

Ahhhh, I like those a lot!

Mind posting some distance pictures so I can see what they look like from further away?

Any idea what they weigh in at?

According to Amazon they are 20lbs. I don't know how accurate that is though.

20 lbs sounds to good to be true. If that is true it's even lighter than my stock Moab wheels which are 26 lbs.

Might have to get a set of these, I like the look!

-16 as well. I have to dig into my receipts to find out what they are actually called and where I got them.

Yeah, I might but then I would need new tires. My current tires only have 500 miles on them!

Sounds like waiting out the new tires to wear down may buy you some time to save the right amount of dough to DO the Hutchinson + 17" tires

These Duratracs are supposed to last 40k miles... I might be waiting a long time, haha!

I've been saving my pennies for the Walker Evans Legend series in black - http://walkerevansracing.com/products/street-wheels/28-501-legend-street-wheels.html

Personally I like the looks of the 16" wheels on TJs and I don't mind the price drop in tires for 16" rims vs 17" rims.

I want those wheels more than you know... I talked to Walker Evans the other day though and they don't make them in 16" size unfortunately!

 

[Chris]

Wait... I stand corrected, it looks like they do. Well I wonder what wheels the guy was talking about when I spoke to them the other day. I was inquiring about the same wheels @Jerry Bransford has, thought these were them.

Either way, this is awesome news. I want these Walker Evans wheels a lot! Any idea what they run?
