Default Looking to pretty up my '01 Cherokee Sport

This one isn't used for off-road, have another for that. Looking to replace the wheels and they don't make many 15's. I like the matte black look with the silver bolt heads going around, but can't find them in the size I need. Can you all post some pix of your 15's and who the manufacturer is. Maybe I can find something else I like.


Thanks,
Terri

Cragar soft 8's.

That is all. Cherokees need no bling.

Wheel shop putting weights on the outside is absurd.

Absurd is my new word of the day. I'm putting it in every post.

All my places put the wheel balancing on the inside with the stick-on ones.

I had an old spare mounted on a new wheel at Big-O and the guy asked if I wanted it on the outside or inside. I looked at him like, "Why are you even asking?"

The weights on the outside were the previous owners doing. When I get new tires, I'm having them moved to the inside.

I don't see "absurd" in this post.

Shop did that to me on my nice used wheels. I rejected that absurdity..

Here are stock Ravine wheels. Hub-centric for the XJ. Painted metallic black. $200 for a set of 5. 15" x 8" x 5" backspacing.
The backspacing is the drawback for these wheels.
