need wheels!
Permalink  
i'm looking for a set of wheels for my xj that someone may have laying around for either cheap or free.  need to be in good condition though... but i will be painting whatever i get black so if the paint on yours is dull, faded, etc, it's ok.  i've decided that i don't care for my tires in the snow and may be getting some AT's for the winter.  thanks!

And another one bites the Trxus SUCK club....

I have a set of AT's (stock) that are next to new on stock rims, and a set of 31" AT's on stock rims I may part with for the right price. Give me a call...

yeah i wasn't very fond of them today in the snow.  just felt like they walked too much..... made me uneasy about em.  don't get me wrong though, they have done me well though in everything else so far.  i'll just stick with an AT for the winters now.

Here is what mystickfirexj's rims look like.  They are mustang rims, I was looking to find what year they came off of and I couldn't find them just looking for pics of a mustang.  If mysticfire reads this he will be able to be more specific.  I don't think that I have a set of stock rims laying around but I will look for ya.  Hope this helps.  Here is the link to those rims.

Those rims bolted right up except for the rear. Had to sand the middle hole just a bit to get them to slide on.  Didn't take to much time at all.

The rims are from a V6 mustang from about 94-98. They are 15x7, fine for 31's.
Andy what about those rims the 33's are on? Those are 15x7 as well.

My bad... I told you that there was a set laying around somewhere.  I do have a set of rims; tires not so much.  They were on my XJ when I bought it.  They are not black but could be painted black.  They have 4 super swampers mounted to them right now.  2 completely bald, 2 that could be used as spares.  The rims would work fine for 31's, they are not as wide as normal rims I guess and would not be ideal for something bigger than 31's.  The only reason that the tires are still on the rims is that they will prolly have to be cut off because of the rims not being as wide.  But you should not have that same problem if you only put 31's on them. 

Let me see if I can find a pic.  Here is the thread that I started when I got the XJ.  The first few pics have the rims that I am talking about.
