These wheels or naw?

Does anybody have a picture of a newer XJ with the 80's aluminum wheels? These? I got offered a set for 80 can't decide if I'll like the look or not haha.

looks good. Trying to picture it on a lifted rig with some good tires on it. Hard to beat for the price. Whats on there now?

not a newer rig, but it's a lifted rig.

It's a little beat up, but better than nothing. Also, I wanna say I think bigjim used to have a set like this...or maybe he just posted a pic of one a while back....

Those wheels can look good. However they need a little help. Here is mine painted with a color called child board. Not to black, but makes the spokes stand out

Not sure where in FL you are but here are some Jeep Moab***correction Canyon*** wheels for $80. I like the look of them myself.

Yes sir you are correct, thanks... was having an early senior moment I suppose.

Fixed it...:thumbsup:


And for the record.. these are Jeep Moab wheels.

I actually have always liked the looks of those rims with some beefy tires mounted on em, and on a lifted XJ/MJ... The Moabs and Canyon rims look good too, as far as factory rims.. but the Canyon rims you have to make sure you get from the right vehicle.. The canyon rims came on some TJ's and ZJ's... and I can't remember which it is that is more desirable, but IIRC it is the TJ version if you are going to run beefier tires.. Wouldn't mind finding myself a set of the 16" Moabs one day.. but they are hard to find in my area (not sure about others) and if you do find them, they are def no where near cheap!!

TJs had the 8" wide version, ZJ was 7". So the TJ wheels are the better ones to get.

And to tell, just look on the inside (hub side) of the wheel for 15x8 noted in the metal.

Thanks, I was pretty sure it was the TJ version that was better, just couldn't remember why... but thanks for telling me a quick easy way to identify them without having to carry a measuring tape..

Anytime! I used that little trick to score a TJ canyon for a spare 8" wheel last year for $15 at a swap meet. :p

I'm guessing the wagon wheels like the OP showed are 7" wide??

I believe that or 6" but have had no experience with them. To my knowledge i don't think an 8" wheel was ever put on XJs from the factory. I could be wrong but can't think of one. Steve has those wheels so he could surely tell ya confidently.
