- 5x5.5 bolt
Trail Ready. At one time when I purchased them they were the only non-forged wheel completely cast and finished right here in the USA but I’m told they are cast overseas now then finished here in the states. Excellent quality and they can make them in about any bolt pattern or backspacing you would want as well as beadlocks or nonbeadlock.

I looked for a long time when trying to decide the same question. I ultimately ended up with a set of Raceline wheels, 5 on 5.5 and 17x9. They don't make this exact style anymore, but here's what I ran, until switching to Walker Evans beadlocks.
This is a similar version, which simulates their popular beadlock wheel.

Another vote for Trail Ready. Also not sure if there forged overseas but were 100% USA made when I got mine. I’ve hade these for about 11- 12 years now.
I think I searched every available 5x5.5 lug pattern wheel on the market when I converted to Yukon manual hubs.
17x9 Raceline "Monsters" looked interesting but I eventually chose ProComp 69 Series aluminum wheels, 16x8 with 5x5.5 lug pattern, 4.250" center bore, and 4" backspacing, P/N 1069-6885.
I chose them because: (1) I decided to stick with cheap 16" wheels until my current almost new LT315/75R16 tires wear out and consider 17x9 wheels in a year or two when I buy new tires; (2) the wheels I chose are readily available and low enough in cost that I won't shed too many tears as they get scratched - I'll just replace them as they get too beaten up; and (3) its a classic look similar to the wheels I had before my hub conversion.

I'm confused.
From the thread title I thought @Rukus was looking for photos of TJ's running 15" - 17" wheels with a 5x5.5 (CJ) lug pattern.

I looked at your profile and didn't see it listed. Which front axle are you running?
Rubicon Dana 44 with factory locker, 5.38 gears from RG&A, Yukon chromoly inner and outer axle shafts, Vanco/Black Magic 16" Big Brake Kit, Yukon YA-WU-08 manual hub conversion kit.
15x8 5.5 bolt pattern Walker Evans, on the Rubicon Trail.
