Default What is the name of this rim style?

This was the spare in my 91 XJ when I bought it. The four rims were turbines but as said this was the spare.
Anyone have any idea what the name of the rim is?
I looked on line and am pretty sure they are not from a cherokee originally.

The second pic shows all the writing on the inside of the rim on the spokes.
Any info would be great.

I had ones like that on my 91 Laredo when I bought it. And my build sheet said aluminum alloy wheels. I'm assuming those are it. I had all four plus the spare that had the factory rubber on it. My bro n law stole them though.

As to a name. I have no idea. But they definitely stock aluminum jeep wheels.

They're called 5 Stars. Sometimes you'll hear them referred to as "old school" or "classics". They gained slight popularity among YJ owners after Jurassic Park came out. The YJ's in the movie had these rims, just painted red.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder.
Came stock on the 95ZJ, I touched em up for the Hello Kitty theme.
Still look sweet 2 years later.
Another set of the 5 spokes came on recently aquired 90XJ.
