Do any of y'all have a TJ or have pictures of a TJ with these "CJ" style wheels on them?

I want to get rid of my d-ring wheels and replace them with these, repaint them in satin black, and in stock backspacing to give my Jeep a more factory, old school look.

Any second opinions or pictures?

Thanks!

Second one looks like a YJ, sorry.

Wow that was really helpful! Thank you! I wouldn't have thought to search exactly what you searched in Google images.

However, after seeing those, I think I'll keep those CJ rims to the CJ's. They are characteristic of CJ's for sure but not necessarily TJ's (in my opinion).

Pretty much then these two steel rims (painted black) are the ones that I am now trying to picture on my Jeep:

The rims from the first picture are easy to find and are cheap, but the ones from the second picture, which look like they are 17" or even 18" rims, I have no idea what those are.

I've seen rims like those on Craigslist, at used tire shops, along with plenty of these:

I found what the 17" rims look like with 34" tires on an LJ; to me they honestly look too big. 15" and 16" wheels are the only wheels that look good on a TJ in my opinion. What do y'all think?

Reviving this thread:

I just cannot decide and need other Jeep owner opinions.

I want my Jeep back with the factory look. However, of all the factory wheels that have been on the Cherokee and TJ, this is the only one that I like:

I found a set of 4 of these wheels for $100. So cost is on my side. However, are there maybe any wheels that I am missing from the factory Jeep lineup?

Or, would it be worth the extra money to get some alloy wheels (I have yet to find an alloy wheel that I actually like, although I know that they are lighter which means less fuel consumption and less wear on all of my steering components)?

Truthfully, I like the factory canyon or ravine wheels in 15" or the stock 16" rubicon wheels. All look great. I have the 16" rubi's and they are simple and sharp looking.
