Wow....never saw those before. That's an awsome wheel.

It says it is 8.5 wide and the factory 17" chrome plated ones (same as mine)wheels are 7.5 wide according to the specs I was looking at. I don't see why they wouldn't especially if you went up one tire size to the 245's which would be wider and you can run that size (245/65/17) without rubbing...

I'm guessing you have the 235/65/17 on the stock 17/7.5 - 4.5 bolt pattern like mine. I think I remember that from prior posts.

4wheelparts didn't carry these types for a while.. but I just got an e-mail. And these don't cost that high, they might be heavier than the stocks, but how much I don't know. The ones I have (chrome clad) are pretty light, and that's why they cost $$$, and way $$$$$$$ extra... I liked these, they are not that shiny. And price is not bad, either!!

You do have the same rims as I do.

I'll buy a camera and take a picture and mail it to you if it makes you happy. Then you can post it....Mine must be the exact same black one as yours except an 05.

I don't think 05s came with my rims. I think mine came with 04 and pre only. 05s came with the thinner, more metallic rims.

Mine are the 17" aluminum chrome clad wheels. I thought that was what you had??

you're right. They are different. They look chrome though. Maby that's why I thought they were the same?

Yeah, that's plastic. Undearneath these are very similar to the rene rims. They are actually those rims with this plastic cover on them. They are lighter than other rims. Looks like the rims I posted would cost me 925 for set of 5. wow!

Wow...$925. They are nice but to me that's a lot even though I know it's probably a good price if they are as good in person as they look in the pic's.. Then you'll still need tires. You want my POS Goodyears...hahaha. Actually, if you aren't going off road you could get the silent armours which would be fine for pavement and moderate off road if you get a chance. Come on up here and I'll show you a few places. We got easy dirt roads - to side scratchin trails. Take your pick.

I keep my boat in Lake George. Probably 4 hours north of you. If you ever come up, bring your girl friend and we'll spend a day on the lake. Ever been there? Then I'll show you a couple of "dirt roads".

Yes, I have been there twice, it is nice place, but was too calm for me. Nothing much to do there. My wife used to love that place when she was young and when they used to go with her family when she was a kid. I remember a few boats went belly up there, is yours safe! :D

Too calm for you - that's the point. I think there is too much commotion there at times.

Yea, the boat floats.

Yea, I can show you any type place you want. State land - mountains with potable water just coming out to drink - free camping - off roading - whatever you want. There's a lot more to NY than The Big Apple.

If you are ever going to come up, pm me.

UPDATE: After punching in the KJ details, it said non of the above FITS KJ!!!! :( :( :(

However, for these wheels:

according to the site,
17x8 5x4.5 25 Black/Machined Lip Fits Vehicle $174 Each

They fit.

My concern is, though, if the Factory PSI monitor will work or not. Does anyone know?

The TPM's are attached to the valvestem and in the rim as you know. So why wouldn't they fit. Do you think that rim is different on the inside? I can't tell from the picture. I like the rim though. Black and chrome will look awsome on a black KJ in my opinion.
