The 5 spokes are car wheels...The one you linked isn't even coming close to fitting your jeep.
Walker evens are pretty nice. I tend to lean more toward classic looks on wheels, so some ansen slots,
Or some Turbine style
Would be going on mine, if I ever decide to get rid of the Pintlers. I almost went with the Turbines. I think it goes back to my early days, when I was able to stay up late and watch the Dukes of Hazard. They are not ideal though. 4" of backspacing, but only 7" wide. I guess if you wanted to go with a 10.5" tire, they would work out pretty well.

twinsies..Well crap, you’re in WA too.
Just means we'll look that much cooler when we finally park next to each other. Two shades of red on bronze
Also as a heads up, unless you order from someone who already has them in stock, Walker Evans has a 4 month back order on their wheels because they're manufacturing plant had to close for a few months due to covid.
P.S. Good to see you around again bud

I love a brand call Forgestar - flow formed wheels so not over the top expensive like a forged wheel. These CF5's look like what you are looking at. You can get them in any color or size, there are no pre-made sizes, all custom, so you can get exactly what you want. I know a few vendors to source from if interested, so you can shop for the best labor day price out there.

I myself have been looking for wheels for my Flame Red with not too much luck. As of right now I am between sourcing a set of ravines or a set of these American Racing Ansen 969 wheels. I do really like a five spoke wheel though and these wheels don't exactly have spokes.
By it being impossible to find it on a red tj through google I think its safe to say not as many have them.
M19's in bronze would be my choice if I was looking for new wheels.

I appreciate the ideas guys. For some reason I keep flirting with a wheel change. Tires are due anytime, so that’s spurring me
I love those wheels. They would look fantastic. I think I’m going to beat those up. Better geta DD set and a wheelin set.

Oh great, another Covid backlog. I have a loveseat that was delivered damaged. They said they would pick it up in March. It’s still in my driveway. I also have a drivers side front Chromoly 4340 shaft From Carbon Off-road that was accidentally built for a JK and sent to me. Tried to contact them multiple times to return it with no response. Oh well, Maybe I’ll sell it to get it out of my attic. Hope you’re wheels fair much better and arrive well-packaged and damage free.
As a guy who runs a manufacturing plant, I'm so tired of, "because covid.". We haven't missed any deliveries by more than a day, and we're still shipping 99.7% by customer request (ahead of leadtime).
It's possible, people just aren't trying hard enough to figure it out.

I suspected months ago that people were just lazy and didn’t want to work and Covid was the excuse. I haven’t missed a day.
