I know for 2012 the Sports come with 16x7 steel wheels and the 17" and 18" wheels are aluminum.

Noticed an aluminum 16" wheel being referenced on a parts website. Was there a factory 16" aluminum wheel on earlier JK's? If so what package did they come on?
How common are they?
Any pictures?

Thanks.

My 2008 JK X has an "s" package and used to have the 16's. Now I have 18's. This is what they looked like

I'm running the 16x8 aluminum factory wheels. My 2010 came with 16x7 steel wheels, but I got the aluminum from another forum member. I think they only came on 07-08s.

I like them a lot. They are better looking and lighter than the steel. There also seems to be more variety of tire choices for your $ on the 16 vs 17. Some go big on the 16, others stay close to stock. I shot for somewhere in the middle.

That's kind of my reasoning. Aluminum 16's = lighter weight and more, cheaper tire selection.

Kicking myself because I only realized they were out there after a guy had a set on the local CL for cheap a while back. Not on there any more.

Sure they're 16x8? I think car-parts.com calls them 16x7 and they go off the Hollander Interchange.
