- tires and rims wheel wheels
White wheels are classic. I'd put be more inclined to say black wheels are lame, passe and overdone.
Skinny 33s on a Rubi painted white, maybe the oldest most common Wrangler rim out there, the dimpled 5 spoke steely, 15x7. These rims are 33 years old.
Altho in white I'm more of a fan of the smooth old school steelies.

There is one big drawback for me to paint my hardtop white while still being in Texas. The color fire amber looks burnt orange and being coupled with a white hardtop (University of Texas Longhorn colors) would put me in the crosshairs of Texas A&M Aggies of which there are MANY here. HaHa!

absolute favorite. I have a Toyota t100 with white Steelies and just photoshopped my TJ to get the flavor.
This am on my way into work, I was behind a Deep red (not maroon) YJ, top off with a cream colored factory steelies and a matching spare. It looked super classy.

That would be very cool. This one hits all the right buttons ... except the silly tire cover.

Anyone remember the CJ wheels that had a removable chrome beauty ring. Quadratec used to sell one in black, but I don't see it anymore. Anyway, I thought about getting those, paint the wheels to match (orange for me), and you could take the ring off for the trail.
I'd wear a kilt.Yea, yea, yea - they hang if they're allowed to! That's why skirts make sense for guys!
Wait - how did we get on this subject?

What make and model are the wheels? They’re exactly what I’m looking for
Ha, there is a guy that is big in the Cincinnati wheeling community who only drives his Jeep with a kilt on, never seen the guy in pants
They mostly don't work on YJ/TJ. But I did see a white TJ with white wheels on Google when I was doing my recent steel wheel search and liked the look. Perhaps if you get the right older style muted paint colors it may work ok esp if kept close to stock. The key I think is to not make the paint too glossy on both the vehicle and the wheel.
I think our eyes don't see the gloss much on white vehicles compared to other colors. I think a good shade of light grey will also look ok. Any primary/bright colors it won't work.
