Here's the skinny, folks. I have a complete set of 5 (spare matches the other four) of the wheels you see in the pictures of my Sahara. The tires are shot, so they have zero value. The wheels are in good shape, needing minimal clean-up. They are aluminum, and I do not know for certain if they are 15"X8", or 15"X7" in size. I also do not know the offset. I can look into these things if someone shows serious interest, however. What I do know is that the original owner replaced the Grizzlies that came stock on the Sahara with these wheels many, many moons ago. The tires are P235/75r15, so you can kind of judge how they fit based off that tire size. Center caps are chrome, and in poor shape.

I have no use for these rims. I have 60+ rims in my garage and cellar, and I just don't want to deal with these. They are not ready to go away just yet, as my TJ project turned into more of a project than I had anticipated. However, I am willing to give someone the wheels, as-in, free of charge, should they want them. I would prefer it to be to someone local to me (I live in Washington state), for the sake of convenience, however, if there is no interest locally, I might be willing to ship them to someone, on their dime. Local folks would get first crack at 'em, though. It just makes more sense for me. Also, local could mean that I'd be willing to deliver them somewhere within reason for the cost of fuel. That could even be as far south as Portland, Oregon, as I could roll that into a visit with my eldest son.

So, here are the pics. Again, tires are useless. If you want to pay to have them removed from the rims, I can have that done up here at an independent shop I use for a reasonable price. That would also make it easier for me to transport. As-of this moment, I'm still using them as rollers, but they will become available. Here's what they look like...

You might actually find someone whose tires are worse. They'd get a double, albeit temporary, win/win...
 
When I bought my TJ they came with an exact set like those....of course those are now in my shed with the God awful mud terrains that were on them. With the 2 other sets of wheels stored at my work I have only 48 more wheels to accumulate to catch up to you.:p
 
Great looking wheels and if I was local, I would take you up on them in a second. However, I expect that the shipping cost, even across just a few states to here in MN would probably be a bit rough. Should be a nice addition to whoever nabs them though!
 
Those are nice wheels. Someone is going to take you up on your generous offer.
I hope so. There's a guy a couple blocks down from me that drives a well-used, all stock TJ with the stock steel wheels on it. I was thinking about offering him the wheels, though after all these years, it's somewhat apparent that he just may not care for that sort of stuff.

I know, right? Some TJ owners have the unmitigated gall to just DRIVE THEM AS IS!! Whateryewtalkinabout, Gus??
 
Hey now!
I care about my rig though.
My kids abuses them but I take care of them when they visits home.
Heck I changed all the fluid recently, all the way to clutch fluid.
Hah! genetic disorder :(
