Also lazily searching for a set of JLUR takeoffs with tires.
Odd I thought your :jeep: came with black JLUR wheels ? Tires look beefy too, are they a different size from the JLUR?

Oh you're looking for the JLR not JKR... I can't read again... :wtf: Those are semi tough to find, and they were a $995 option, someone would have to be :fullretard: to to purchase them as an option and take them off immediately, but it is a Jeep thing...

Oh, I bet it'll happen. :dillerman: does all the ordering, and customers just take it. What's $995 when you're paying for a $50k truck on 96 mo stretch pay?

I've found a couple sets of 5. None local.

https://www.rubitrux.com/2018-jeep-wran ... tires.html - no TPMS, free shipping to work.

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/wto/ ... 47402.html - Seems to have TPMS, but $340 to ship.

https://denver.craigslist.org/wto/d/arv ... 02968.html - Has TPMS, $340 to ship. Best deal I've found so far.
