Maybe you should try recentered humvee wheels and surplus tires? Some guys run those and they definitely look military!

Agreed. If I see one more black rim with a big star in the center driving here in Houston I will scream.

Jeep used this style rim exclusively for about 30+ years...in white on the CJ's...before there was a Land Rover or FJ. Let us know if you find an old replacement that fits...1960's Rambler rims?

You could always get you a set of the steel white wagon wheels.

Cragar makes a wheel called the Delux 69 which is solid, but you would have to get it powder coated in white.



Only available in 15" however.

I wanted some steel rims in the 18" size when I first got my Jeep. I was told they don't even make steel rims in 18" size.
