Default Jeep rims


I'm looking for one wheel of this style for my 88 Cherokee to use as a spare if anyone has one they don't need please let me know I'm located in Texas.

Love the turbine rims. Been wanting a set for my 89 for a while. Seen a set on Craigslist asking $40 for 4. They had been listed for near the 45 days. I couldn't get them that day and decided to save his contact information and reach out to him in a few days. But I must have not hit save. I rushed back to check and the listing was expired.

I bet the guy still has them at his house just sitting there. Man I wanted those rims. I try to find a set every so often.

Edit: You know they are supposed to have center caps that day Jeep right?

I do have the center caps this picture was taken right after the 31" tires were mounted.

No (did you read my post too fast?), this was probably 2 years ago and if I had his info I would buy them, I wanted them badly. They were local to me. It was a set of 4. Your best bet for finding one is going to be searching Craigslist, FB market place, or junk yards.

Tip for searching on Craigslist and FB market place is don't just search Jeep rims or Cherokee rims but always search Jeep parts. There has been a number of times I have seen people have a jeep and only have 1 turbine or 2 on the Jeep and the rest be others. That is the way to find you 1 spare rim, in my opinion.

For example, very recently I was looking for 1 Cooper Discoverer AT3 30x9.5R15, which they do not make anymore, which is annoying. I couldn't find one anywhere. I searched Jeep parts and some dude had a mix of Cherokee parts and one was 1 tire like I needed haha. Couldn't believe it. Got it for $20. So now I bought myself 6 months to a year and then will have to buy 4 tires.

I just got done using the map on Craigslist searching by region and used "Jeep alloy wheels and found 4 for 300.00 in North Carolina. I'll try your search criteria and see if the results are better.

Dude are you not understanding me? The post I was referring to is gone. That's been over 2 years ago.

You're in Texas. It would be best to search there. Good luck.

I just bought a rim with a perfectly good tire for $60.00 near me on OfferUp so I'm good to go.

Got those on my '88. Since mine came with the tow package (LSD) I have a fullsize spare on a turbine rim.

Good luck with your search
