    Anyone know where I can buy 5 NEW steel stock wheels for my 79 CJ5 ? 15 x 5.5 / 5 bolt. No bling - bling, just stock. Thanks,

    No - just the boring old white steel rim that is 15 x 5.5 or 6" wide.

    I have a set of 5 with the original tires from '73. Only 8K miles on the tires. If you're coming up near Chicago, we could talk.

    Those look like later XJ/YJ/TJ wheels?

    They won't fit if that is indeed what they are. Hub is too small and the bolt pattern is as well. 5-4.5" rather than 5-5.5" which is what the CJ needs.

    I'll double check tonight... the boy brought those home, and I'm getting ready to clear out some of his "stuff" (whether he's ready or not)!:twisted:

    I just picked up a set of 4 stock rims from Salvage Jeep Parts in Statesboro, GA. I've sanded them down and I'm currently painting them. He has a lot of Jeeps so it's a pretty good chance you'll find them there. Also, when Jeep added disc brakes to the front on the CJ, the shape of the wheel was changed to allow for the added room needed. I'm not sure older CJ wheels would fit on a 79.

    :rofl: Believe it or not, stock wheels for the Samurai fit. Bead is 5.5 inches, 15 in on 5x5.5 bolt pattern. The set I picked up are white. Discount Tire has them for about 36 bucks a piece.:coffee:

    I am located in Central FL, 20 miles NW of Orlando in Lake County. But...I have been known to cross state lines to find the parts I need.... I go to south FL often, so let me know.
