CJ Wheels on TJ

Sounds like you would really like the YJ steelies...I once had a 1988 Toyota 4x4 pickup that had the stock steel wheels. I redid those with some graphite colored paint and clear coat, they came out great. Looked darker/better than silver, but not so dark as black. Maybe a consideration?
Yea these are a good deal for sure. And thanks for sharing your picture on what they look like black!
I have indeed thought about that. I'm trying to stick with 3 color variations at the most though for simplicity; I love the look of graphite wheels too, but I'd rather my wheels and bumpers be the exact same color (black)!
Either way though - I recently just decided to get an Exogate and wear out my current 33x12.5" tires first. Then replace them with 33x10.5" tires and those steel wheels.
I appreciate ya'll's input! It always helps getting more opinions.
The Ravines from an XJ. 1/2" less backspace, 8" wide. Perfect for 31" tires on a TJ. Cash in my pocket and a set of 5 haven't coincided yet, but when they do...

I still just cannot freaking decide. I'm with you @UpperMI, can't decide if I want Canyons or Eccos.
I decided I don't want black or steel wheels anymore. Too mainstream and too heavy.
I prefer how Canyons look, but something about how my Jeep used to have Ecco's on it (when it was bought from the car lot) makes me want to buy those again. However, I've always liked how the Canyons came on the Sahara, which has the same color combo as I do.
It's between this:
Or this:
Any more opinion from fellow Jeepers?

Well that's exactly how I feel about mine; 'tis why I'm split.
This is what my Jeep used to look like. I love the rims. But for my color combo, I just think it doesn't match up?
If my Jeep was black or blue it'd be a different story.

I think they look good with your green. I kinda felt the same way with my Canyons on my white TJ. If it wasn't for the back spacing, I would have probably kept the Canyons.
White can wear anything. Green, Khaki (like mine) have a hard time with silver anything, IMO. Maybe go dark gray since you want to get away from black??
Agreed. And I dig how those Canyons look on your Jeep!
And that's what I thought about doing - I'd love dark "steel" colored rims.
However, that doesn't really go with the green either!?
Color matched rims or black are really the only thing that goes with green!

Well, you could go nuts and paint the Jeep to match the wheels 
Actually, I think dark gray would look good with the green. It is dark but not black.

Lol, go the complete polar opposite direction! And I do agree though.
I totally agree - When I saw those on your trailer build I thought it was very creative -but on a green Jeep with a black top and interior! That looks freaking awesome.
But on a Green Jeep with my tan color combination, I was aiming to keep it simple. like the Sahara with its canyon wheels. However, my Jeep isn't a Sahara so I don't want to pretend like my Jeep is something it's not.
So I was thinking just go with what came on my Jeep: Ecco rims. But then I come back to how silver just doesn't look as good on my Jeep.
I over think all this stuff. It's a disease!

Don't over think it. If you like the canyon wheels then buy some and put them on your jeep. Don't worry what other people think. And just so you know, in 2002 you could buy a TJ sport off the lot with canyon wheels so they weren't exclusive to the Sahara model (I know cause I bought my first 2002 off the lot from Boardwalk Jeep in Redwood city California and looked at a sport model). I have Rubicon wheels on latest 2002 TJ and I don't care if people think I'm a pretender. I just like the look of the wheels. Lastly the canyon wheels (or other silver wheels) look good on a green jeep in my opinion.
Yes sir I have noticed that! But, my Jeep is an X and not a sport. 'Tis leading to more overthinking. [emoji23]
But yes sir I just need to make my decision! Either Canyons or Eccos. I was kind of leaning toward echoes for the fact that I can find used tires more easily for a 16" rim?
I wish I could throw on Rubi take offs. But those are 17" wheels.

I should also add that I would buy the canyons because they are 8" wide as opposed to the 7" wide eccos. It gives you more options if you want 31's, 32's or 33's.
