I'm looking to replace my rusty old 15x7 steel wheels with something nicer... are there any online stores that people have bought from and would recommend? To be honest, I'm thinking of sticking with an OEM wheel, since I have a full sized factory spare and am trying to do this on a limited budget.

Checked the local junkyard, but they had nothing.

I saw this site, but don't know if they're reputable or not:

Thanks!

summit racing. Get some D windows or some soft 8's. they should be about $40 a wheel which is cheaper than buying OEM replacement.s

Thanks for the reply. If I did that route, what backspacing am I looking for that's equivalent to the 15x7 factory wheels?

96_xj

factory is 5.25" If you plan on going a little bit bigger tire size. 4.5" would be a good BS.

what tire size are you planning to run

Spunkmeyer

I was planning on P225/75R15 to match what I have now.

okay then a 15x7 with 5.25" bs would be fine then. but... With after market wheels that will be hard to find.

here is the soft 8 with 4" back spacing at 45.95 a wheel

here is the V-5 at 45.95 a wheel with 3.75" back spacing

Here is the 8 spoke's (which are easily painted) with 4.5" back spacing for $39.88

you might also want to check craigslist or the junk yard for stock wheels.

we have a full set of cherokee wheels on CL for $125 is near perfect condition here

Sorry i know it is alot of links...

but for $23.50 a wheel it is a 15x8 (Which is okay to run with that tire size) with 5" back spacing. and they look decent.

Hey, no apology necessary... you've given me a lot of info to check out!

Thanks again!

Soft 8's off of summitracing were $203 to my door step!

Bumping my own thread for an update; I finally ended up placing an order today with Summit Racing for a new set of wheels. I went with the Cragar Nomad II, which surprisingly wasn't too expensive at $50 each.

Thanks again to everyone for helping point me in the right direction... it was my first order from Summit Racing but they definitely seem like a decent outfit to buy from.

if im not mistaken quadratech was a couple of dollars cheaper than summitt

Spunkmeyer

I checked both, and quadratec was $15 more expensive per wheel, plus I was able to get a greater backspacing (4.5") from summit that wasn't available from quadratec.
