Cant find them anywhere, and nothing else is a close second for me.
The search goes on.....
You obviously have good taste.

I think I likely got the last set in the U.S.

Later on, I did see one listed on Amazon so you might want to check there.
Actually, here's the listing I found. No telling how many they have.
https://www.amazon.com/Dick-Cepek-Ma...ds=90000001391

Do a search on the P/N:
90000001391

Amazon and ebay are likely your last resort to find a set, although ebay didn't have our size when I was shopping. I really like these DC GM7 wheels, so I get what you're saying.
For myself, I think it has to do with that I had a similar set of Cragar Keystone Classic wheels for my GMC S-15 pickup truck when I was going to college and really liked those wheels as well at the time. That's when brushed alloy wheels were cool and easy to find, now not so much since black is the in thing.

I'll need to check. I think I reset my trip odometer when I installed them and have done 1 (5) wheel rotation since then. So I should have actual mileage.

I've got 5100 miles on them and tread depth is 3/8" which is 12/32", same as yours.

I just tried to post on another comment, but it’s my first time on this site. Sorry to dust off a 4.5 year old thread, but I’m getting new wheels on my 2015 Wrangler. The previous owner only bought 4 wheels and I want the spare to actually be of value. I have 4 Dick Cepek Gunmetal 7’s 17”x9” with the 5x5 bolt pattern and -13mm offset. I’ll be receiving the new ones and mounting the tires in early April. Is anyone interested in the other 4. They’re not perfect and have scratches, but they work just fine. I’ve put new tires on since buying the Jeep and put 3k miles on those tires. I gave up on those Dick Cepeks after I spent hours searching to find nothing.

Due to shipping hurdles, usually the best way to sell wheels is local on FB or craigslist. It's really hard to move used wheels IMO simply due to supply out there, and why I try to push people looking at wheels to really buy something that is proper for their build and future mods right from the start. I started on a $1250 set of Fuel Boost wheels.....went out and scraped em up pretty good, sold the entire set for $120 and was happy to get that after they set behind my garage for 9 months or more.

Very sound advise. I figured if someone had 4 or 5 of these already and wanted some spares, it’d be worth them looking at paying for shipping (unless they’re close to St. Louis). To your point, anyone that bought them years ago has probably already given up finding more. Thanks again for the feedback and guidance though.

I'm not trying to be the rain on a parade, but just realistic. You can post them for sale in the "marketplace" forum. Who knows....it only takes 1 buyer.

No offense taken. I don’t want to be “that guy” trying to sell stock bumpers or wheels for $200. I’ll let this thread die again. Thanks for the guidance.
