identification and source for TJ wheel

[mjeff87]

Guys,

I need an aluminum wheel for my TJ to replace the steel spare. These were on my TJ when I bought it a couple years ago.....can anyone tell me what style they are (and where I can buy one)?

Thanks,

Jeff

Can't help with where to buy them, but I think they're Alcoas:

they are Mickey Thompsom alcoa style rims, although they could be Alcoa brand but i doubt it

those are alcoas, they were a special edition rim that were sold with TJs and my friend has a set of 4 he is trying to sell, theyre about 150 a piece on ebay

hope this helps :waving:

They look really similar to the deep backspacing ARE Baja's

 

(15x8's with 5.25" backspacing)

 

 

 

 

 

I had 'upgraded' to different center caps,

these are the ones they originally came with (now on my buddy's Jeep):

 

They look the same to me anyway :dunno:

looks like I paid $72.25 each for them 8 years ago lol http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/sh ... p?t=106022

I agree, my friend just bought a TJ Rocky Mountain addition. Its got those wheels, alcoas. There pretty nice, I've always liked there wheels. O an the TJ's got a 44 rear :fs2:

I dunno guys....consensus says they are Alcoas, but some are saying AR's or MT's.....

 

there's a local wheel place I'm gonna run down to on Saturday and let them look at them to make sure.

 

I've got a set of 5 Treadwright MT/R's on the way to me, and I wanna run them in a full rotation so I need to replace the stock steelie spare with one that matches.

 

Thanks for all the input :cheers:

Jeff, did you pull one of the wheels and look on the inside? Usually the mfg, p/n, BS, etc. is stamped there.

[jpnjim]

Reading whatever the center caps say would be a start too. ;)

 

 

I'm thinking Alcoa's have steel lug nut inserts,

I know the ARE's I had did not have any inserts.

[mjeff87]

Don, I checked the outside-facing surface and didn't see anythang...I'll pull one off and check the inside to see.

 

Jim, good idea but...weren't no center caps on the rig when I bought it, I picked those ones you see up at a local wheel shop. They are generic.
