They looks so familiar but I can't make out the brand name on these Craigslist pictures.

I'm just curious how they'll look on my Cherokee.

They're made by American Racing. I found another set of them but not a model number.

If you're at work don't search "Old American Racing Wheels" in google images...

I am at work and thanks to you, can't get anything done because all I can do is think about is googling "Old American Racing Wheels".

This is just the beginning of the sickness.

Wait till you're out to dinner with you wife and all your thinking about is what brand of tie rods your going to buy, or you're attending your daughters school play but all you can think about is the new set of tires you're going to get tomorrow.

Or you're at your Dad's funeral and the only thing going through your mind is "What the hell is that clunking sound coming from my front end"?

I find it interesting... or confusing... that the craigslist ad suggests the wheel will fit "most 5 lug"... Ford, Dodge, Chevy. I didn't think the jeep and chevy rims would be interchangeable. 5x4.5 vs 5x4.75?

All I know is that an XJ has the exact bolt pattern as a Ford Ranger, what other vehicles will interchange I don't know.

Older wheels that would fit multiple patterns were called unilug wheels. I think the name is "sawblade"

These wheels were the thing to have, 10-15 years ago. Like chrome mods.

They're starting to grow on me. I'm curious how much backspacing they have. From the picture on the dude's ZJ, they don't look like they have anything less than 4".

He's interested in trading plus cash for some stockers, which I have (235 all seasons). I might pull the trigger as the wider/better wheels and tires should aid in my battle against death wobble.

Alright dudes, help me decide on wheels/tires.

Should I go for the above BFG All Terrains on boobie wheels or these Goodyear SR-As on OEM Ravines?

http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/pts/4190554292.html

Price is about the same.
