The 1999 Jeep that we purchased yesterday has some awful factory steel wheels. Maybe someone local (Houston area) has some decent factory wheels you'd like to part with cheap? I'm also looking for some decent tires, factory type/size would be fine.

The key here is cheap! :smiley-laughing021:

16x7. Metric tyres are not as wide and fit better on flex. My 245x75x16 are 31 but only 9.5 wide.
Maxis bighorns are great tyres.

No, but I bet you sent it to my google voice number and it doesn't accept pictures. If you can just e-mail it to me, mudderoy @ xjtalk.com

Well Ray I think were going to go with the more "classic" wheels, and besides he's on my way home, but thanks!

nice, I'm going to have to get some rims one day, two of mine are bent plus I need a full size spare instead of the crappy donut tire.
