Can't Make Up My Mind on Wheels

[JMT]

In my honest opinion 19’s are going to look like shit on a TJ, but if that’s the look you like you do you. Color wise with your paint I think a lighter color like a silver, gray , aluminum or even white would look best.

-19 is the offset.

Personally I've never cared for black wheels, I'd go with the Fuel Anza Anthracite. They were one of my choices before I finally settled on mine.

Like @taylormade73 said, this is a very personal choice. Of the ones you listed, the graphite Walker Evans (WE) will be the easiest to care for and less likely to show damage. The only exception will be the black "beadlook" ring, but that can be easily repaired and painted. The most important thing is to be patient and get the set you really want. Otherwise you'll go through multiple wheels, like I did. That said, I'm partial to WE wheels!

My Vote: Fuel Anza

Walker Evans 501 Legend Graphite would be my choice.

He's looking at 15's not 19's.

I stand corrected, probably shouldn’t read posts at 2:30 am without my glasses.

Why not? I do all the time LOL.

I agree though, 19's would look like pure s***. Well, as long as I had my glasses on

I'm running 15" wheels, not 19".

That's what I'm leaning toward. More importantly, my wife likes those the best, and if she's onboard, then I'm good to go! LOL

What do you plan to do with your rig?

if you’re intending on wheeling, don’t drop a ton of money on wheels that will inevitably get dinged, scratched, gouged, dented, or whatever other marking Thesaurus.com can throw at you.

Worrying about bouncing around your investment because you spent way too much takes the fun out of the off-roading.

Aside from that, go check out the Unfortunate JK of The Day thread for a while. You’ll feel good about any of your options after perusing the utter trash in that thread!

I'll definitely be wheeling. Good food for thought. Thanks.

I like the black wheels with a dark color.View attachment 174186

I like the black w/red It looks good.

 

[TWiG01]

I know this thread is way old, but did you go with the WE wheels?

 

[OddJack]

For me it would be the second link or the last

If your looking to make a statement, there is always these…………

I'm in the middle of the build on my Sienna Pearl 2001 Jeep TJ, and I can't decide on wheels. I'll be running 35 x 12.5 tires (brand tbd). Should I go with black, or should I buck the trend and go with machined aluminum look? Maybe even gray. The wheels I'm considering are the following:

AR23 Satin Black https://www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/buy-wheel-offset/AR235865B/american-racing-ar23-15x8-19
Walker Evans 501 Legend Graphite https://www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/buy-wheel-offset/501-5865GN/walker-evans-legend-15x8-19
Walker Evans 501 Black https://www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/buy-wheel-offset/501-5865SB/walker-evans-legend-15x8-19
Fuel Anza Anthracite https://www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/buy-wheel-offset/D55815806537/fuel-anza-15x8-18?

I just can't make up my mind. I welcome all opinions.

I thought about the Fuel Anzas. Did some research and came across several negative reviews. Apparently the biggest complaint is that they begin to rust rather quickly. Not sure if Fuel resolved that issue.

 

[Jamesval035]

Also, they’ve jumped quite a bit in price. Over $200 a wheel.

 

[WHBNM]

The Fuel anza and walker evens were two of my finalists after much scrolling thru the web. I ended up going with the anzas due to price & availability at the time knowing I'd be happy with either. I was aware some experiences with rust bleeding from the fake beadlock ring but went for it anyway. Rust isn't too much of an issue here in the SW and I liked how they looked. You'll be happy either way!

 

[Jamesval035]

Those do look good

 

[TRE3TOP]

Walker Evan’s graphite is probably my favorite wheel, so I would choose that one. With that said I just bought black raceline RT81’s because they were cost half as much and I can’t justify a $400/wheel beadlock currently.
