I'd like cast aluminum, but if you can convince me of why I should go another way, I'm all ears! The KMC wheels are one of my favorites too. Did your friend have a body mount chop? Do you know what backspacing he used? There must be a way to run them without rub. Don't know if this matters, but I'm leaning toward black or teflon wheels with a red lock ring.

It was me, the backspacing was 4.5 the first set fit with no rubbing but the 17's have a second valve stem (very vunerable placing) and it leaked because they were drilled wrong. The second set didn't have leaks but they rubbed so bad on the calipers that it felt like the breaks were on. I only move a few feet, we called and they told us it was the same back space as the first set. (Bull) I drove the first set over 190 miles with no rubbing. I went with the Walker Evans, no rubbing issues, only one valve stem and it is recessed to minimize possibility of damage, and also they put steel inserts for the beadlock bolts. I used them in Moab this weekend, no problems. I too wanted something different, that is why I tried the KMC Beadlock Enduros, I would not recommend them for the FJ.
