Default Input on wheels I'm considering

Well, I've been wanting some new wheels but since I have a few other projects going on (lifting my Jeep XJ & getting bigger tires/wheels, winch, etc., fixing my old school Harley, & my '34 traditional style hot rod) I want to keep it on the lower cost end of the spectrum.

Nine Ball gave me a good quote on some iForged wheels, but the wheels that are in my price range would require the purchase of new tires instead of using my current rubber. This knocks them back out of my budget I have planned for the T/A. While looking around, I've narrowed down the wheels I like to the ones I've listed here.

They are going on my Silver TA, it's been lowered since this pic was taken, I just can't find my newer pics. Pic attached at bottom.


Wheel 1



Wheel 2 See Wheel 8 for Silver version of same wheel.


Go HERE for larger pics or more info on the wheels above.

Wheel 3



Wheel 4

Everyone wants me to buy new tires I was just going to run 18x9.5" wheels all around. 9.5 is as wide as all of those come. According to Nitto, my tire is supposed to fit a 9-11" wheel (275/35/18).

My current wheels are all 9.5" and have 275/35 fronts & 285/35 rears. Personally I like a rather wide-ish tire up front since that's where most of your braking power comes from....

Yeah, they come in silver also, and most of these also come in chrome, but i'm not a big chrome fan, especially on silver cars.

Guess I forgot to put a wheel 8, but I added the silver version of wheel 2 as the #8 on the poll.

Thought more people would at least like 7. That's a clean simple split 5.

No, they are Petrol wheels, the name of that model is Octane. Yeah, I wish they had them wider, but 9.5" is as wide as they come. But, I like my current setup well enough which is also 9.5" all around, and the added bonus is I can use my existing tires & spend money on other things I need like a torque arm & shocks/struts.
