I had these Quadratec Moabs on my 2013 Rubicon with 35" tires.

IMO it is one of the best deals you can find: they have the right offset and width to accommodate large tires without spacers, are strong and lightweight, well crafted, very affordable and retain the clean factory look.

Awesome. What kind of wheeling do you do? Lots of offroading? I live around alot of lava rock, sand, and mud. Would those tires handle that?

Also if you dont mind me asking. What size are they and what is the weight?

 

I did lots of rock and dirt mostly, this being California. Took it to Canada too and did some epic snow runs.

The lips got scuffed by the rocks but the wheels were undamaged otherwise. They are well made.

 

Level 8 alloy wheels don't like rocks. About a year old and all 5 wheels have some trail rash. Don't really notice it unless you are up close and looking for it.

 

I'm not aware of any alloy wheel that won't do that. Mine are beat to crap because of rocks, but meh, I use it.

 

i am assuming they havent cracked though since you are still using them? what kind of riding do you do?

 

Mostly beach driving, but the rash obviously is from rock crawling. I like the light weight. 35"km2 and rim weigh 94 lbs. (only 20 more than stock)

Yea - comes with the territory, but doesn't look good in the mall parking lot.

 

I have Eagle Alloy 197's on our JKU and have owned several sets in the past with no issues. Our JKU was recently hit right in the front passenger side wheel by a truck pulling out of the local Wal Mart. The impact bent the front axle housing, passenger axle and snapped the pitman arm off the steering box. The wheel didn't appear to suffer any structural damage even though the tire did. When we put it on the balancing machine, I could see a visable wobble so I replaced it. But still, it was a hard impact.

 

i might order me a set of those moab wheels from quadratec. the price makes me nervous that they will be cheap but i guess there is only one way to find out

another option is to just keep my 16x7 and buy the tire i want for my current rims but i prefer the 17inch rims

 

Take a look at Bully Pro's from Discount Tire. They have replaceable scuff rings and have allot of great features, duel valve stems for airing up and down, rim designed to hang on to an aired down tire better than the standard, eccentric rings. Seriously great value for your buck. And they come with a great gauge for deflating.

 

Yep :winner:

 

I was looking at those bully pros but they dont have them in the size i am looking for (17 inch rim x 8 width)

edit: or 17x7.5

 

i should mention that the tires I am planning on getting are "pizza cutters" so I am going for a skinnier rim. the tire asks for a rim from 6.5-8.5

 

Nothing wrong with procomp wheels IMO. Just cast versus forged, that is why they are inexpensive(and they are Chinese...i believe). Cheap and easy to replace if you jack them up.(trust me I know....).

That Said I didn't buy mine, I traded some wheels I really didn't like for them.

FYI...just look for factory takeoffs on Craigslist. Depending on tire size, you may have to run spacers, but they would work, and would be cheap.

 

I think I am going to order some ultra bolt or Mamba m2x rims. They look pretty and i saw some good reviews. unless they are bad???
