It's definitely not a Jeep wheel. I can only tell you that much.

In my experience, any factory wheel has a code stamped on the backside of the rim... If you Google that code, you will find out the manufacturer and what vehicle that rim came on. When I bought my jeep, it came with 17" "factory wheels". Upon further investigation, I found they were off of a Jaguar xk-8(??), if memory serves me. Those are 5x4.75 wheels. They didn't stay on long. HTH!

If its the wrong bolt pattern it won't bolt on unless they used adapters.

Eh...the Liberty has a 6 spoke wheel, but the center looks more dished (is that a word?). The pic in the OP looks like the center is stepped. If that makes sense.

And I was so proud of myself. Could be a reproduction though.

Its close but not the same rim,The center of his rim is stepped in the liberty rim is flush with the rest of the rim.And the edge of the spokes are different and the center caps are different.
