Default Xj on steel wheels?

I don't know if this belongs in the tech section or not.

Anyway, does anyone have any pictures of xjs with steel wheels? Not like cragars and wheels of that nature, but the basic shallow steel wheels. There is a word to describe the look, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I like that basic, barebones rugged look of those wheels, an I'd like a set for my xj.

Not the ones that are the 5 spoke. Almost like a spare tire wheel? I'm trying to post some pictures

Isnt there a crown vic wheel just like that that will bolt up? I swear I have seen a set of solid steel rims with stock jeep centers on them it looked pretty sweet IMO. wish i had a picture.
