I actually have two sets - the one shown below with all-terrain tires that I am using for winter driving or if I do get into some light off-road adventures, and the 2nd set is a black version of the 5-spokes, like those pictures above - just a gloss black.
I bought them from another owner who was selling theirs - same as I am doing with these. The person I bought mine from changed out to an aftermarket wheel and off-road tires. I like to keep a stock look. In the case here, someone could buy my wheels and opt to put an all-terrain or winter tire on them as a second set, and then they would have these tires on hand to replace their daily street tires when their current set needs to be replaced. You can also use other wheels from other Jeeps - previous model Grand Cherokees, Wranglers, Gladiators... You just need to make sure 1) the wheels clear the brake calipers and 2) that your tires aren't too tall or wide where they will rub the wells or hit the suspension control arm above the tire. I think the current clearance without a need to modify your car is 32" overall height. And with wheels, I found a 17" wheel is more than likely too small. An 18" or 20" would be preferable - but even then a spacer might be needed to clear the front brake calipers. The black wheels pictured on my GCL above are 20" wheels from a 2021 Jeep Gladiator. I had to use a 6-7mm pass-through wheel spacer to make the wheel clear the brake calipers. Also - If you do buy another set of wheels from someone else, ask if the TPMS sensors are included... In a lot of cases where someone changes out to an aftermarket wheel, they take their TPMS sensors out of the factory wheels and move them to the new wheels... So this becomes a $200-250 additional cost to you (plus mounting and/or programming of the sensors). And for that matter, not all TPMS sensors are compatible with your GC-L - a TPMS sensor from a Wrangler, Gladiator or previous model Grand Cherokee may be 433 mhz, but the sub-frequency of the sensor might not jive with your GC-L. I found out recently with a set of aftermarket TPMS sensors that there are sub-frequencies that matter when being programmed - the GC-L did not have the same sub-frequency as some other Jeep 433 mhz sensors. As far as I know NOW, all of the OEM TPMS sensors currently in GC-L wheels are automatically picked up by your car's system after driving for 20-25 minutes. Hope that helps.
