I will never understand the motivation to buy a Jeep that can't survive a pothole. I love fast wagons. I love the low center of gravity, the handling, the ability to retain speed and dance through corners... but this sort of thing??? I don't get it even a little bit. Are there Jack-Omish, like like Jack-Mormons, and they still want to sit up high on wagon wheels, just with more than a couple horsepower? Admittedly, I live in Wyoming, but I've lived in California and Miami and elsewhere, and I've had a variety of fast *cars* (Porsche, Bentley, Marc, Audi, BMW, etc), but even in Miami this sort of thing makes no sense to me... I guess, if you care a whole lot about appearances, but don't know or care about vehicle dynamics, this is what you do?

Can anyone explain?

Well the GCL really isn’t a fast wagon that I would be zipping through corners in. As far as having to explain it; we’ll, not everyone has the same application and style preferences. It’s about being unique to an individual’s taste. As far as it limiting the vehicles potential, it may or may not. A great deal of us who buy Jeep platforms do so with zero intent of taking them on off-road adventures or even off the pavement. For my style and use, I am definitely looking at a larger wheel diameter for the GCL because I don’t like the oem design setup. I feel that it does not fill in the wells and the look of the larger body, but that’s me. The dynamics of my GCL won’t be drastically changed by a simple wheel and tire change. You might look at it and say that you disagree and it’s not your taste, but that’s completely fine.
