My dad always told me Jeep wheels were the same as Ford, but with bigger center openings.
I don't know if this still holds true, though. The hubs don't extend through the wheel centers like they used to in the "olden days." A quick check for wheel lug pattern shows my '08 having 5-127. (5x5) I'm pretty sure that doesn't match Ford's anymore. http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/Pro-Comp-Steel-Wheels-Black-51-Series-PCW51-5173-p-pro-comp-steel-wheels-black-51-series.html Shipping would be the big question. Only US$50 for me, but I doubt they even ship to Canada.

I've seen pics of Jeeps on this forum with black wheels and I thought they looked great. Probably a mod in the next year or so. Among the options I have that I wasn't looking for, 17" wheels were added. I had 17" on both my F150 trucks. New tires were a session in wallet pain. 16" tires are much better for price and size selection in on-road tires. 15" is best for off-road selection. (as your MT/Rs)
