Junkyard Score!

[Sir Sam]

Scored a set of 5 TJ Moabs off on an XJ. I couldn't believe it, the Jeep had been in the yard at least 2 weeks and I got 5.

 

Then I found an XJ Jeep freedom with the Ultrastars still on it, I took 2 of em and left the other 2 since I have 5-6 vehicles worth of them.

I like what I like without regard for what others think. If other people don’t like them it doesnt affect me.

Moabs are alright, they ain't no Turbines though.

 

Speaking of which, does anyone make a modern version of the turbine style wheel in 17" with a 8x6.5 or 8x170 bolt pattern?  Probably not...

For sure. The closest I've seen are these, in polished or natural: 5 lug 15 x 8.5, 5.5″ lug pattern.

I've got some older 15xsomething 6x5.5 wheels that are really similar to the MJ/XJ ones.  The problem is all the old turbine style wheels for larger trucks (8x6.5 bolt pattern) are almost always 16.5" diameter, which is well, yuck.  There's some 16" versions though, but they're rare.
