AEV products never go on sale but they are having a B4G1 free sale on their wheels.
I’m leaning towards the Pintler or Salta. I’ve got a 4 door silver Rubicon with AEV bumper, rear bumper/tire carrier, and some of their other parts. Here’s the Pintler in Black.

For off road steel are better than aluminum.
With steel if they get dented you can beat them back into shape. It always seem silly to me to sell the wrangler with aluminum wheels. |

Did they fix the pintler cracking issue with the JK version? I know there was a problem with the TJ version pintlers. It won't be an issue if you're just mall crawling like all the other JKs out there.
And to the person with the "steel is better than aluminum for off-road" comment above, my trailready bead locks laugh at you. As well as every trophy truck and ultra 4 car ever. |

Ah...an AEV wheels thread.
 For quite sometime Pintlers had issues, cracking where the spoke meets the outer wheel and resulting in losing all air when it happens. They would replace them for free, but that's little comfort when it happens to you out wheeling...multiple times. Did they ever redesign those things? I went with Savagre years ago, which are stronger by design, but they don't make my argent anymore.  Last time I checked, they were only available in black...and I've never been a fan of black wheels, but I'm apparently in the minority there based on what sells. |

I've had more sets of steel wheels on rigs than I can count. I was simply pointing out that a statement like "steel wheels are better than aluminum" was a silly statement.  |

Does it have aftermarket bumpers? What kind? Steel? A winch? How much crap is hanging off the back? Swing-out carrier? Without a lot of extra weight, you'll often get more out of the lift than the advertised height, depending on brand of course. Given the side steps and painted fender flares, I wouldn't be surprised if the lift sucks a bit...and skimps on some geometry correction. |

Pintler in onyx. Don't go black, it's way overdone at this point.
