these are great photos so perhaps a weird request, but do you have one directly from the side looking straighe on at the doors. I just got a 23 and wanted 20 inch wheels but got the 22s starting to love them but am thinkingh about doing what you did and give it a touch more off road look.Street tires on a wrangler always bothered me and I can't decide if i feel the same way about my current set up. A buddy of mine said I have it wrong and that the V* is meant for the street and to change my perspective.

Here it is, would love to see more options for tires on the 22s! Coming from a Rubicon 4XE (my third jeep). Goal was to get a faster SUV vs a second car like I have done in the past

sorry if you said this already which 22s are these? I was considering the BF Goodrich trail terrain. Don't want to overdo the off-road look either as I think that can look weird on 22s.
I saw a copper tire as well that looked good.

I LOVE the blue calipers all around. My dealer told me that because it's a '23 AND the Carpathian Edition that the Blue calipers were not an option.

I have the Nitto Terra Grappler G2s on mine and I quite like the look.
