yeah I like the EVO X wheels on the Speed 3's a lot, but I think I want something a little different lol. And I don't want to run silver, and I don't feel like paying for wheels AND powdercoating. Plus I am sure they cost an arm and a leg to buy them online, so that is a no go.

As for the wheels with rivets, before I even put the tires on the wheels I had already planned on painting them black to match the wheel. They are removable rivets, so it shouldn't be a big deal. They also sell them in black, blue, red, and gold for an extra $60 bucks, so I might check into that as well. Also, for fitment, I am looking at 18x8.5" +35 in the blacks, and 18x9" +42 in the gun metal wheels. IDK, I am just torn. Trying to find something to really go with my theme. I keep coming back to the black wheels, I just feel it would give the car a really aggressive look. In an effort to not make it look like a giant black hole where the wheel goes, I will probably paint the calipers a different color to set them off (maybe gold, not sure).

Gotcha... good idea on painting the rivets, that'd probably do the trick. Those get my vote.

Evo X wheels can be had for within $600-$800 range, btw. Sometimes cheaper, you just have to actively look and jump quick when you find a good deal because they sell fast. There are so many different cars using them.

good on most anything except the obvious oil and antifreeze and one or two other things.
That would actually be great. We've shared the Advance Auto discount nationwide with all of the Jeep forum members. We're required to spend $250/week average but that works out great because there's a couple thousand people buying things regularly on the club discount. After the six month review, the discount could possibly be increased depending on the average weekly purchase amount. A lot of people have voiced that they'd like to also have access to Autozone and/or O'riellys. If you set up a commercial account, can it be used nationwide at other Autozone locations? Details on the other requirements such as weekly minimum purchases, exclusions from items, required proof that you're part of the club, etc... This is great! Thanks!
