This is not a for sale ad. I'm just trying to gauge the popularity of these tires and rims. I might be able to get my hands on a set or two relatively cheap but don't want to be sitting on them for a long time.

Yeah my buddy sold a couple pairs really quickly once he put them on craigslist. They were both TJ moabs so I don't know if that'll make a difference.

Some people really like factory 5 spokes. They are not as popular as the TJ Moabs but they are still nice wheels.

Well as it ends up the guy must have sold them before I could snag them because he never got back to me. He had a set of 5 from a Rubicon and 5 from a Sahara that had around 25k miles on them and only wanted $25 per tire.

I agree, I don't like them on the Cherokees but at that price i was going to grab them and resell for a decent profit.

JK wheels are 5 on 5, they won't fit an XJ or ZJ without buying wheel adapters. They will mate up to a WJ though.
