Hey so I have my thoughts of what I am going for but was wondering some opinions from kids on here.

I have this car (this is just a stock photo but its a white Jeep Grand Cherokee) :

and I was thinking of putting these wheels on it:

they are matt black.


I really like the KMC rockstars but i think they are played out a bit.


Any other suggestions would be more than appreciated. No chrome though, I don't like that look at all.

those are cool. just as long as you don't put something ridiculously large and flashy on a jeep, it'll look fine. it is a jeep, after all.

Well I am using my car as a show car type deal, as I work for an offroading company.

So I am thinking a two inch lift, 17's and a larger On/Off road tire.

I really like the SRT wheels as well, but I like the look of black wheels on the white.

I have a black rack that goes over the entire top, a black brush guard, black ladder all in that powder coated black look.

So that's why I was thinking black wheels.

if you work for an off roading co. then my vote is now changed to the first ones you posted in 17s with a lift + bigger tires, would look super badass imo. also one thing you dont see too often, is a newer gen laredo lifted. at least not as often as wranglers and the likes. 19 would def look too flashy for a off roading comapny though, especially with the chrome lip

Enkei rims are super legit, I was going to get some for my ride but it ended up coming with pretty sick 18's stock so I just kept them.

http://www.enkei.com/grab6.html this is one of their SUV rims.
