Golden Eagle rims, Am I crazy?

[FiNorman]

Am I crazy or did there used to be a set of rims that came with the Golden Eagle that were golden spokes that came to the center? anyone have a picture?
I tried finding a picture on the internet but no luck... does this exist or am I imagining these rims?

I think they looked like this (jeep ad) Golden Eagle - Jeep-CJ Gallery

Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought they came with different rims... I actually found the rims but I thought they came like this from the factory or are these after market?
1985 Jeep CJ-7

no the Golden Eagles didnt come with a spoked wheel like the hurricane, only the California edition cjs came with those, none of which were i think Goldies

so if I were to look for those rims would I just ask for the Hurricane?

The rims are 10” wide too.

to the OP, I have a set of the turbine wheels available for sale if you are interested. Shipping would be pricey, I imagine, tho.

 

[FiNorman]

Thanks, are they the 15x10 and how much would you ask for them?

 

[mylittlecj5]

I'm pretty sure they are 15x8 (possibly 15x7) but that is the ideal width for a tire that is under 12" wide. I run a 15x8 wheel with my 35x12.50x15 Super Swamper tires for example. A 10" wide wheel will cause problems with your CJ in regard to steering and bearing life in the front end.

I will send you a PM about these wheels.

Golden Eagle rims were as pictured here

Are you thinking about wheels that look like these?

These wheels were available on the Wagoneer and Cherokee models, those models did have a Golden Eagle package, but these wheels were never an option on the CJ, even with the golden eagle package.

As others have pointed out, the wagon wheel or "D" window wheel painted gold with a single black stripe around the inside was the factory option wheel with the CJ golden eagle package.

I have a set of 15 spoke hurricanes 10x15 that I picked up for 125.00, cost 75.00 to ship to my door (2 boxes). looking forward to pollishing but not looking forward to dropping apx. 800 for a set of tires...
