on my 94, I have some crappy aftermarket aluminum wheels in 15". I am not a fan of funky aftermarket rims so I was craigslisting for some cheap stock replacements. well, as you all probably know, chevy 5 lug wheels, or any 5x5 wheels, are getting hard to find for a good price if you don't want to buy brand new so I started googling what other vehicles run a 5x5 pattern that would be usable on our trucks.
turns out the new jeeps, but specifically the new wranglers, run the same pattern and might be close enough to the proper off set and back spacing for us to use.
jeep guys throw out some nice wheels just because they are stock. I mean 17 and 18", and probably up to 20" on the grand Cherokee. the center cap looks like it could easily be changed to a flat unbranded one so we could have a cheap alternative for inexpensive replacement wheels. some jeep guys go through aftermarket rims faster than tires too so there is a ton of aftermarket wheels on craigslist also for only a few hundred bucks in the large sizes available now.
anyways, just an fyi in case people are like me and just want something inexpensive. the 17" wrangler 5 star wheels from the higher end models are selling for 125 to 300 for all five, usually with low mileage stock tires here in south texas.
