I promise I searched, but please kindly let me know if I missed something. I picked up my first CJ last year and just drove it around a couple months before putting it in the garage for the winter and giving it some love and attention before the weather gets nice again. Part of the attention I would like to give it is a spare tire to hang on the carrier out back. But, I haven't been able to find a wheel that matches the other wheels on the Jeep. They aren't American Racing or similar new wheels. The backspacing is about 3.25" and 15x8. I see these same wheels (you can tell by the deeper second lip) on CJs all the time but I haven't been able to fin any on marketplace or ebay. They must have been a popular swap at some point.
I'm sure everyone knows all the information I don't seem to know and will likely chuckle - if you do laugh, please at least refrain from pointing at the same time.
I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some information about the brand, etc that would help me hone my search. I would also accept anything along the lines of "I have a couple sitting around if you want to buy one."
I have attached a picture of my CJ7 , a picture of the backspacing on of my wheels, and a picture of some identical wheels I found a month or so ago on marketplace but with the wrong bolt pattern so you can see the second lip difference I am talking about.
Thanks in advance!
