Thinking about getting them for my '97 Cherokee.

Anybody have experience with them? How they look and the installation?

They look like plastic hub caps. No Bueno. If you've got steel wheels, just clean, scuff sand and paint them a sweet new color.

Well I'll be, they are steel. They are just painted a flat grey color.

I'm really wanting the high-shine chrome look... do I need to get new wheels?

Thanks for the warning on those - I didn't realize they were plastic!

A neighbor here used to have one from ebay and its plastic, easily get scratched and didn't last long. I would hunt for some nice cheap wheels, check out those discount deals around, here are couple:

Are these wheels going on an "Off Road XJ" or more of just a DD? If you plan on a lot of off road steel wheels are a better deal because they don't break like alloy wheels do and can be beat out if bent then aired back up to keep you going if needed. A alloy wheel will just break a piece of it off and all you can do is throw it away, you still have a chance with a steel wheel. Another consideration is the low cost for good steel wheels or even lower for knock offs from Summit or Jegs as low as $40 each. That way if you do destroy one you have a very small loss involved not like an alloy.






















Be sure that you buy the proper size and most of all the correct BS 3.75" and if a 15" wheel an 8" wide rim for up to 12:50 not a 10".

Great information, thanks guys.

This is more of a daily driver.

With those links, I've got plenty of options now!

Thanks for the heads up on the wheel dimensions. As a neophyte, I need it.
