Jeep 10 Spoke Wheel Clone

[Root Moose]

I saw these wheels on a different forum:

They kinda look like Outback TX-1s... but not quite.

Does anyone know of a similar aftermarket wheel? Preferably something available in 16x8 or 17x8?

 

[bjoehandley]

No, unfortunetly not. Those are probably my favorite factory Jeep rims though.

 

[CherBear]

I like those a lot as well. Can you order them from the stealership still?

 

[Root Moose]

IIRC they are RENIX era wheels so I'd guess not.

 

[IXNAYXJ]

I'd throw a set of 16x8s on the race Jeep in a heart beat.

Yea, both of Dad's Renix trucks had them, wouldn't mind keeping the ones that are on his '90 when that gets scrapped, but I don't know if they'll still be safe since they've run nearly 300k and spent half their service life doing rail road related stuff!

I see those at junkyards periodically, unfortunately the junkyard database software everybody uses doesn't have a part associated with them so nobody knows if they have them.

To answer the OP's question, I don't know if anybody makes them in a 16 or 17 inch rim. Haven't ever seen anything.

They are called Turbines FWIW.

Yep, those are Turbines, the best wheel Jeep ever put on the XJ IMHO. I ran them on my old 96 trail rig and they originally came on my 90 XJ that I drive daily. I still have these wheels and I plan on re-finishing them soon.

Good times in that old rig, my son drives it now. Here is what it looks like with soft 8's now and a 97+ front bumper

Yup, they look good no matter what kind of rig they're used on, be it a trail rig, DD rig with 235's, desert racers, or even a sport/street truck with wideish street tires!



BTW, the late model bumper really looks good on your truck too!

I would LOVE these with a sort of gun-metal finish. Sort of a darker grey shade. OO soo sexy.

 

[IllianaXJ]

I'm a fan also. Enough that I bought wheel spacers instead of new wheels so I could run them on my 01.

 

[xjtrailrider]

^^^Love your rig Illiana:wave:

 

[CherBear]

Might be a little on the pricey side...

Man I'm just getting screwed big time lately. I just tossed out a set of 4 of those with my wrecked rig. If I knew so many people liked them I would have refinished them in gunmetal like these and sold them!!!

 

[CherBear]

O those would have been so sexy!!!

 

[JrTxJ]

I thought this thread reminded me of something I saw recently http://worcester.craigslist.org/pts/1476422102.html

guy has new turbines...

 

[CherBear]

Dang! Those look so nice. Although for that price Id rather buy a set with a poor finish, then repaint them with the gunmetal finish.
