i was originally down with the white and wanted to do the same if i had gotten the base. but in all honesty i think the original color looks better on this particular rim. maybe with a cap the white might look better though.
I'm glad I could help you narrow down what you like better! That is a big part of why I am putting this out there, to provide some ideas that help others decide how they want to customize.

nice base budget build but unless you do the roof and bumper white does not really go retro enough for me... as it is i would probably just do wheels to match the mic color....not worth powder coating these cheap wheels better just to get takeoffs from ranger....not bad though to each his own....peace

It It will look almost as good as this readily available 2021 Islander edition, I reckon - which comes with Dual Tops. 👍✌
I will say I like those tires and wheels and hubs and the top. I am not much a fan of the 4 door as compared to 2 door Wrangler. I do NOT like the giant 'Islander' decal, and the white step sandwiched between two back bumpers looks very out of place.

I've finished the wheels and very happy with how they turned out.

Top is next, but waiting for it to be replaced first of course before I do any work on it.

How is the paint holding up? Scratching or peeling?

They look as good as the day I painted them. Good prep work makes the difference. I will say...they get dirty quicky! But a quick spray and wipe down and good as new.

Any issues with the tires and the 3rd Brake Light?

Neither. Tires have been great, and the 33" fits under the brake light with no modifications. I did need to trim down the rubber stoppers down by the bumper to get the spare to sit properly. I cut about a half inch off them.
