4) 16" Jeep Wheels With Roller Tires (not Mine)

Someone posted this FB ad on OWF. Looks like a screamin' good deal on original 16" CJ wheels

Yes, those look to be the desirable 6” wide rims that are so hard to find. Those wheels are usually $100 each, not a set of 4.

Are we sure those are Jeep. I haven't ever seen that style of wheel on a CJ that was a 16. What year would they have been on?

 

2x Donny. If those were anywhere close, they would end up in my garage in a heartbeat.

 

I agree with Donny, they look exactly like the 16” wheels used on Willy’s pick-ups.
These wheels were standard equipment but only on 1963-1965 Willy’s trucks and were specifically intended to be used with 7.50 x 16” tires.
I’m close and would love to have them but have no way to go get them at the moment.

 

Those are basically the same wheels I've got on my CJ currently, same size tires even. I think I got them from nickmil at the Puyallup swap meet a number of years back. Only downside to them, is that they don't clear the GM disk brake conversion on the front, so I've got to use spacers.

Other than that, yeah, those look like a great deal.

 

Been looking for a set of those for my son's Willys pickup project for about 4 years. I wish these weren't 1000 miles away!

 

Dang you guys are good. Always amazed by the knowledge base. Always.

 

I’ll get them if somebody can get me his phone number. Like fast ! TIA

 

Looks like these wheels will end up in my possession by sometime this spring.
