16 inch white wagon wheels, factory?

[Bill Moore]

I have a set of 6 hole wagon wheels white spokes, were these an option for Jeep trucks? they are on a 80 J10

[janie]

Yup Bill, sure were.

[Tonka J200]

White wagon wheels, yes- but only in 15" on J-10's and Chero's.

I don't think Jeep ever offered a 16" white wagon wheel in 6 lug.

I know that the Grand Wagoneer made in Mexico by VAM -Veiculos Automotores Mexicanos- had the white wheel but I don't know if 15" or 16"...

[skeletor]

i thought all white wagon wheels from the seventies where either 15 or 16.5. i have never heard of a steel wheel for any truck in the 70s (dodge/ford/chevy) that used a 16 inch wheel. if i'm wrong please let me know. vam made a jeep called the wagoneer sport it had black stripes and white wheels, it was their version of a cherokee, but i would imagine they used 15" wheels.

This also my understanding, that 16" wheels were not OE from the factory.
15" on everything except the 8 lug axles found on a J20 and those were 16.5"

[El Jefe]

those look just like the ones on my cherokee. 16x8 6 lugs, except I painted mine black. and bought themnew two years ago.

You're right. I have an 81 VAM Wagoneer and it came with white wheels. However, they're 15". They're currently on my parts donnor car.

So maybe the 16" are aftermarket?

[AlsChopShop]

yes, 16" would be aftermarket. 15" on 6-luggers and 16.5" on 8-luggers were stock.
