Jeep XJ, or...

Jaguar XJ

I find it hilarous how both companies came up with such similar wheel designs at about the same time.

The XJ, of course.

But seriously, white lettering on something that isn’t a truck or a muscle car is a travesty.

Those Jaaaaags had plenty of muscle.

Wrong!!!! White lettering is awesome on ANY car! Too bad hte colored-letter tires on race cars aren’t available to the general public, but at least Dupli-color makes tire paint for them :)

Oh, I was referring specifically to the raised white lettering that usually says “Radial R/T Mud Grabber”. Colored lettering on most cars is cool.

These are my favorite.

Though they’re actually stickers, not actually paint or coloring.

My grandfather put a set of those XJS wheels on an old square-nosed S10 4x4. Looked surprisingly great. I regret not buying that truck when he sold it.

Can’t go wrong here. I prefer the extra bit of offset on the Jaaaaaaaaag myself.

Or did the Blazer?

I vote blazer because I owned those wheels.

Neither. IMO both look better with wire-rim style wheels...

I dunno. I kinda dig it. Maybe I’m completely tasteless.

XJ. Because I learned to drive on one of these with these exact wheels.

If I have to work on it, Jeep. If I get to make someone else work on it, Jaaag.
