We're wheel twins
F U ! You wont sell me your rims. To spite you, I may go all @John Cooper on your ass and buy black rims..... with yellow accents.
4WP had the cheapest black steelies i could find. like 50ea IIRC.
17" Black Rock series 942, type D with 265/70 Duratracs are working well for me
I think a big yellow sunflower on the center cap of your black rims would look just right on your rig.
Both Jeeps i purchased came with pro comp d style steelies. I like the look.
I didn’t have any issues off-roading with them in the local rocks, but I went to aluminum when doing the 5x5.5 Hubs mostly because I wanted less rotating mass.
And if I scrape a wheel I’ll just paint it black and move on with life.
Pure, unabridged jealousy. Shameful, really.
Procomp steelies are cheap ass chinese junk. I spent a ton of time trying t ofind a wobble at 62 MPH. Balance, new tires, balance, balance again. No joy.
Screw it. I bought american made forged aluminum wheels. Right out of the tire shop 70 mph straight down the road.
I sold those POS procomps to a guy with a YJ. 10 bucks apiece.
They suck big black ones.

Hatred of @DaveC . He knows my desire to have the same rims on both my vehicles. He just wont play along. I hate him.
Depending on what type of wheeling you do, steel may not be the best option. I ran steel for a few years and got to the point where I was bending the rim lips on every outing. I recently swapped them out for a cheap set of aluminum rims and will see how they hold up.
Now running what I believe to be an Ion Alloy aluminum wheel of some kind.

A forum peep local to me, had gotten tyred of rebalancing his steel rims after every outing.
So true. I have some rebar rings I plan to weld onto the steel rims I just dismounted. If the aluminum rims hold up, then I’ll just sell them and keep running them until in need new tires.
I've seen steelies bend, never an alloy break. Just my experience anyway.
What's wrong with white wheels? I am still gonna get a set !
My Tactik wheels balanced out better than any other steel wheels I've owned. Got them on sale for $40 each.
