Wheel damage: replace with OEM or upgrade?

[TheRiverDog]

Howdy TJ Fam!
Well, my trusty steed took a little too much of a beating at Haspin Acres. This rim has definitely seen better days.

Time for new shoes! What are your favorite rim styles that look awesome on a TJ? Black, alloy, open to anything!
Thanks for the suggestions!

These are OEM with black plastidip coating.

This. If it was me, I'd just buy a replacement OEM to match - but my only requirements for a wheel is that it hold air and be round. So if you want new ones and can afford them, buy them! Or not - your choice.

I've had two instances over the years where a chunk broke off the edge of an OEM alloy wheel. It wasn't that easy to find a replacement. Usually the seller wants to sell off a full set or the one wheel costs more than what you originally paid for a set. Since you're running a narrow tire and I assume not using wheel spacers another matching wheel should suffice. Otherwise an aftermarket set of wheels with proper backspacing would be my choice. I like the old school look of Mickey Thompson Classic III, of course I'm an old man of 66. Choose what pleases you.

The junkyard can fix you up with a single wheel.

My TJ had a wheel with a chunk out of it when I bought it - the dealer ordered a "new" wheel to replace it. I also had to buy a new wheel myself as the spare didn't match - found one online for a good price - it came off of an XJ in Portland Oregon. No problem getting either.

There were millions made, can't be excruciating to find one especially if just going to spray paint it.
