I'm looking for a new set of wheels for my JK. I recently painted it a 686 (Carc Substitute) tan. At first I planned on buying beadlocks and painting the outer lip. Now, I'm looking at buying a wheel that looks like a military style wheel and just painting the entire thing. I know something like this isnt completely available, but is there anything close? Kind of what I'm looking for:



What its going on:

 

I believe those wheels are a weird 16.5" Wheel. Tire selection is going to be limited and when you find them they are going to be E rated and ride like crap on the road.

 

Check out trailworth fabs. They have custom h1 wheels available. Might be what you are looking for.

 

Oops, I should have mentioned, I've checked out the Trailworthy Fab wheels. While nice, I really dont want to deal with trying to find decent 16.5" tires. I'm looking for civilian wheels, that when painted may look similar

 

Check out the mopar steel winter wheels.

 

I am running Daytona 15x8 steel, which I ordered in tan. I was going for a military look with a small budget. I absolutely love your jk. I'd definitely be aiming towards what you have built if funds weren't an issue

 

I'm in the Marines and I've been on a website called govplanet.com and all you have to do is register and you should be good to purchase items. For example I was guna purchase a military HMMWV trailer with brand new wheels and tires that still had the canopy and everything else for $300. They also sell wheels and tires and a bunch of other things. I definitely look there if those are the wheels you want

Your next best bet but isn't cheap is to get Hutchingson bead locks. And than getting them powder coated or possibly even cerakoted

Now those are interesting. I've never seen them before.

*Edit Upon further browsing it appears they need spacers as the offset isnt good :(




Thanks! Its taken me quite a long time to get it this way. Keep saving your pennies!



The issue with buying real HMMWV wheels is twofold. Bolt pattern is different and the diameter is 16.5". Its a giant pita finding tires with decent road manners.

Now the Hutchinsons, while pricey, look damn nice painted. Thats a route I'll seriously look at. The ATX AX195s are pretty close in looks too. I'd prefer a beadlock, but the cost of the Hutchinsons may force me to the ATXs.

Not adding anything useful, but I like the looks of your jeep. What wheels are those and what size tires?
