These have been sitting in my shed since i brought the jeep home, the Guy who did the lift kept them and gave them to me with the other original parts
so I took each one today and bolted then to my passenger front (jacked up) and did a warp/bent test ive seen on the utube
surprisingly for steel rims they all (but ONE) tracked evenly front/back and in and out
the bad tracker wasnt out by much maybe a matchbook cover thickness and the plastic cap is cracked, it will become the spare
Tempted to Paint them Black with Goldish/tan caps, but will probably leave them alone other than cleaning and polishing them up IMG_1525.jpegIMG_1528.jpegIMG_1532.jpegIMG_1530.jpegIMG_1531.jpeg

the backsides have some slight surface rust, ill scrub them down and rustolium them
these will do until I can save up the cash to buy the aluminum ones I want
,
 
I picked up a set of 4 aluminum Jeep rims at a local junkyard for $250. Picked up another matching rim off ebay for $75. Painted them all up and had tires mounted on them.
