thank bra.
When I first got them, I wasn't sure if I'd like them and really started doubting them. the honeycombs went well with my Jeep's character. But I figured I'd try them out anyways. I'm liking them.

Snapped some more photos while quenching my Jeep's thirst. Also put the 5th Ravine on that still has a tire on it.

I really like those new rims, Crusher. They look much better than the honeycombs.
Also, Is that the Krogers on Mcarthur?. I used to work right near there (ATT building on Las Colinas and Royal).

Yep, right next to Kinwest parkway. My apartment complex is right across the street.

I will also agree with them and think that your rims look better than the old ones.

Not to hijack, but as far as I'm concerned (and we know that must be gospel then :) ) rims are the metal things, tires are the rubber things, when you combine the two, you have a wheel.
Do the new ones have better backspacing?

Here's what I found on the subject at Car Forums (http://www.car-forums.com/s9/t14912.html) :
Thanks to the internet there has been a gradual blurring of the difference between a rim and a wheel.
For posterity you should know that the rim is the bit that the tyre sits into. It is made up of some bendy bits called: inboard flange, outboard flange, inboard bead seat, outboard bead seat, inboard safety hump (drop centre) & outboard safety hump. When the outboard rim and the inboard rim are assembled or pressed they combine to form the "barrel".
The bit that has the spokes, radius supports, centre bore boss, etc is called the "centre"
The barrel and the centre combine to make a "wheel". Sure "wheel" doesn't sound as in the know as "rim", but it does have two extra letters.
It's by no means definitive, but it seems to support the other stuff I've read.

Isn't cross forum posting a violation of the rules? LOL!
Ya gotta wonder how that definition fits with Sbarro's design of the hubless wheel though.
