I like the look of the larger windows of the 5 spoke.
The 6 spokes look good with the 31x10.5R15's though.

Those OE wheels look pretty good painted a dark color.
Why are you looking for a OE wheel? Does the aftermarket not have something you like?

Mainly cost but also looks.  Everyone eventually goes to the aftermarket wheels.  Rarely do people stick with OE.  The problem with a lot of aftermarket wheels is that they have BS at 3.75" or maybe 4" if you're lucky.  I priced Black Rock Wheels at $56 each.  (They have a 4.75" BS with a 15x7)  BRW is US made.  Actually made here in CA.  An OE can usually be bought for $25 or less.  A set of 5 for around $150-200.

I'm torn between the 5 and 6 spokes.  The 5 spokes would be easier to clean since it's a flush face.  The 6 spokes are a bit more retro.


The 5 spokes have a lip where the center meets the rim that will catch ice/mud and makes the out of balance, and they are hard to clean bacause of the lip. just something else to think about.

They push the tire outboard unnecessarily.  3.75" is OK if you're running 35's or larger as you need the extra width to allow for the tires to turn.  It doesn't mean you can't run 3.75's but on smaller tires it's unnecessary.  31's and 3.75" BS really allow you to see how far they push the tires outboard as you will no doubt need extended flares if you want any tire coverage.

Well, there's a guy locally selling 5 Rubicon Moab 16's with good tires got $550.  Then there's another guy selling 4 5 spoke steel wheels with some crappy throw away tires for $275.

The Moab's are tempting even if they are 31's.

Here's a YJ with KJ wheels.  Looks pretty tight.  I don't think you'd want to run anything larger then 31's on them.

That is way to positive offset IMO.

Buy the Moab's sell the tires. That is what I did, almost got free wheels.  :naughty:

When I say it looks 'tight', I mean it physically looks too tight not the vernacular.  :lol:

The SO doesn't like the Moabs but like the 5 and 6 spokes, I sorta do too.  If I got the Moab's I'd probably drive on them since I don't really have the money to put into new tires.  Spent that money elsewhere.   :whistle:  Although if I was going to roll on 31's I could just buy 31's and put them on ly 15x6's.

These are really skinny.  I don't think tehy even make tires this skinny anymore.  Well unless you're looking at the old Military tires. Interesting 'Jeep' too.  Mahindra from India.  Looks a little goofy from the front with the tires so far outboard.

These are 4.5 BS I did not want anything with a 3.75 BS. I did need to bring them out a ways cause of the width loss of the 8.8
