    DEFINITELY!

    I was thinking about wheels, as I'm going to bigger tires now. I know it's BETTER to have a wheel with a proper offset, than to run spacers. But I've been blessed to own the TWO vehicles with the BEST-looking factory wheels of the past 25 years; my '93 Mustang GT, and my Commander.

    Those wheels on yours Matt, with the chrome inserts, wouldn't look half bad, actually, but in looking at 17" & 18" wheels in our bolt pattern... MOST of them can 'GENEROUSLY' be described as, "ugly as homemade sin!!!"

    Color me crazy, but I LIKE the look & style of my factory chrome wheels - they're elegant, without looking fragile - and they set off even a base Jeep like mine (with black trim) rather nicely. I just wish Jeep offered them with a 5"-6" offset - then we'd ALL be set!

    Chrome is better. The red looks... well... half bad.

    I vote red.

    Maybe you should get red "Trail Rated" badges to compliment.

    Putting a few more red accents on would help tie in the red. I don't think the chrome inserts would look bad either.

    Unless you add more red inserts I think the chrome ones would be more appealing but thats just my taste
