Bent Wheel... Looking for Quality Replacement
So I unknowingly bent my wheel at some point and didn't notice for about a month since it probably happened. In the meantime the tire lost 10psi of air pressure so unfortunately it looks like I need to replace the wheel.
Does anyone know who sells quality OE wheels? Rock Auto sells one from a company called Keystone, but they are "reconditioned" and they say that the wheels may have been bent back into shape or welded, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
On the other hand, I've got stock size tires and the next set I'll be buying are going to be 33" - will I need larger wheels for these? Cause if so, I guess I can just have a shop mount my tire from my bent wheel on the spare tire wheel, and use the bent wheel with the spare tire, since it obviously doesn't lose pressure too terribly fast.
Just looking for any thoughts or opinions on what I should do. Thanks

When you say OE (Original Equipment), do you mean the factory Jeep wheel that came on the Jeep from the factory? We do sell some Mopar wheels.

I ask because I don't think a Keystone wheel would be OE (?)

Yep. I want something that is officially Mopar, or at least a very reputable company, and I want it to just be the same style of wheel that the XJ came with from the factory. Nothing fancy or styled.

If you switch it to a spare, then put a tube in it

This would be your best bet, or swapping out for the spare if it is a full size one is excellent way to go with a tube. Then you will need new wheels for the 33x12:50's anyway a 15x8" with 3.75 of BS anyway.
