I am seeking a different look for my Cherokee. I find pictures of these rims but can't seem to locate a distributor. Can anybody help?
I really like this one. Classic? On a Cherokee? Yeah right.... But still, wow!
Any and all help in locating a distributor is greatly appreciated.
You posted pics of two old wheels and one futuristic wheel. You want suppliers for all of them?
No. Just the first two if you know anything. I like the utilitarian look those things bring to a 4 × 4. I'm building a rugged rig and I want it to look that way also.
The first one is close to this https://www.intercotire.com/wheel/325
The 2nd one is just a old school steel rim that uses a center cap.The last one is h2 beadlocks they are cool and crappy at the same time.They would have to be recentered because they are 8 lug rims.And they are 16.5 inch rims so tire options are very limited.

Last one is a test design of a tire that can't go flat and is able to go over weird terrain. Prototype only.

True... military application only. I saw a few prototypes of these about a year or two ago..
If the first design blows your hair back, I would go with that over the second one. Not that the second one doesn't have kind of a cool old school look to it... but they are solid centers. Meaning, NO or very little air ventilation to the brakes at best.
Do the somewhat popular soft 8's in a nice black powdercoat or semi-gloss not do it for you? Those give a nice clean and slightly mean/aggressive offroad look to most Jeeps.
The purists are going to probably yell at me but something to remember... We are running the same size bolt pattern as the small pattern ford so there might be some additional options there to look at too. Just get blank center caps to replace the Ford caps.

The first one is a Mopar wheel. They are 17" and only available in 5x5" bolt pattern. You could run them with adapters. You should be able to find them anywhere that sells Mopar products including your local dealer. Heres a link to them on Mopars site: https://mopar.chromedata.com/NextGen...275861/2435284
Cragar makes a solid wheel. I think that's what the 2nd one is. They're the Delux 69 Cragars. I almost bought them for the XJ, but decided on the V5's.

That is definitely them. Oorah! I did a Google image search and one of the pics I have to go off of is displayed there.
Also, I went to Cragars website, and they do in fact sell this wheel with all the measurements I need. However; the load rating on these rims is only 1500 lb. Which isn't a problem if all four tires are EarthBound. If not, then...OUCH! Is it me or does 1500 lb sound excessively weak?
One more thing though. Why did you end up choosing the V5? Was it venting concerns?

I wouldn’t worry about the rating. I’ve had the v5s for 2-3 years and wheel pretty hard and they’re rated at 1600. I chose them more for looks , I wasn’t sure how the 69’s would look, but honestly it was a toss up. Let us know what you decide.
Is the workmanship really so poor on the Mopar rims that the holes are offset and not aligned? That looks like some dope took a hole saw to a solid steel rim and tried to guess at the spacing on the holes.

Can Anybody Identify These Wheels?
