Is there a name for these stock rims? I am trying to find more pics on the forum with these on a rubicon haha, Still trying to decide if I want to keep the cheap set of 5 I purchased or continue looking for 16x8 MOABs. I kind of like these rims, but the set I have have some road rash on them (nothing too deep). How hard is it to fix these to get them looking good? Saw a couple videos on youtube that did not look too easy.

Ah, the decisions for wheel and tire for my TJ.

Those are called Gamblers.

Yep, Gamblers is the name of them.

Thanks @Chris and @fooey !

I see that the backspacing and the offset are different in these two wheels. What difference do those make in the fitment of a 31x10.5R15 or 265/75R16 duratrac tires and to the fitment of wheel + tire to the vehicle? What problems will arise if I use the Gambler wheel on a Rubicon? And also, Gambler wheels are not cast and therefore weaker ( ie easy to go out of round compared to a cast wheel)?

15x8 aluminum
* 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern
* Backspacing = 5.25"
* Optional wheel with 30" tire package
* Offset = +19 mm


16x8 cast aluminum
* 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern
* Backspacing = 5"
* Offset = +12 mm
* Stock Rubicon wheel

The higher offset and backspace of the Gambler wheels will cause them to sit in a bit further than the Moab wheels. On a wide tire this could cause issues with rubbing, but 10.5” isn’t wide enough for any issues to arise, so you’ll be fine.

As for the construction of the wheels, they are both cast aluminum and both equallly strong. The last thing you have to worry about with a Jeep on OEM wheels with larger tires is bending a wheel. That shouldn’t even be anywhere on your list of concerns.
