The Wife wants to get new wheels for the Jeep.  Unfortunately since it’s got a car bolt pattern it seems to be hard to find wheels that don’t look like car wheels.  

She wants something like these:

Maybe not exactly like that but aluminum or silver, and “truck” looking but not too brodozery if that makes sense.  

 

She also liked these method wheels but she didn’t like black or bronze.  

What should we get?

Sparco Terras? Not really "truck like" but gives off a rally vibe.

To be honest, most truck wheels look like crap noeadays. Also, that Jeep has a car bolt pattern because it is a car. That said, embrace the abominable modern times, with these babies:

In reply to Wally :

They actually had one of those on an episode of Dirt Every Day. One of Fred's friends flew out to California to go off roading, and Fred showed up with a Renegade. He even convinced one of the off roading companies to make a lift kit for them.

Does Bassett/Aero/Diamond racing make D holes in that bolt pattern? They look "truck" enough and I know that they will appeal to your stock car sensibilities. laugh

Whichever wheels you end up with, I recommend sticking with round. Mythbusters tried that whole new "square wheel" fad that was going on and it didn't end well.

These factory renegade wheels painted the color you want? They have a very truck look to me.

The momo heritage 6 ticks the boxes but it’s $2k for the wheels

 

edit: there are some used sets already for less...

The Wife has informed me that there are all sorts of pricey bits I could add on.  Even an 8” Ford rear end.

We’ve definitely settled on round wheels.  I like the Rotas but couldn’t find our bolt pattern.  Stock car wheels are a possiblity but I think I’d have to convert to wheel studs to use the right lug nuts.

In reply to Wally :

The issue I found with the typical 15" 4 lug stock car style wheels is offset. 0 offset didn't seem like it was going to be kosher on my street driven SL1.
