Well all you have to do is look at the engine to see what you have. If all the cylinders are in a straight line like this then you have the inline 6

I don't know, the rims aren't too bad. They are unique. But easy enough to tell if it's the I6 (which is preferred, as it's practically bullet proof), like judging from the one pic it looks like it. Long and straight.

Here's a really good site to run your VIN. it'll tell you EVERYTHING about your jeep.
Just punch the VIN into the field.

You could paint them too which wouldn't be too difficult

Not saying I'm not really good with a rattle can ( I'll upload pics of stiff I've sprayed later, ) for 50 -60 a wheel that's not bad for new wheels
