    Anyone seen aluminum wagon wheels like these before?

    Hey folks it's been a while! I'm still building Jeeps just doing a lot of CJ and Wrangler stuff since they are easier to find. I still have my 82 Cherokee WT and my 83 Cherokee WT. Neither are finished but hoping...one day. lol This afternoon a guy called and said he has a set of aluminum wagon wheels that came on a 82 Wagoneer. I've seen the steel white spoke wagon wheels before but never knew anyone made an aluminum set. He said he was the second owner of the truck and claims they were on the truck from the factory according to the original owner. I was hoping to get more input on these. Thanks!

    good to see you Chrome,
    IMO those do not look like a Jeep production wheel, probably a set the dealership put on it. Nice looking wheel though

      Long time no see

      You got the cash

      They are not factory. The same guy has a set of 5 on 5.5's also. He's very proud of them. I luv these wheels & have owned a set back in the 70's. The set I had was from western wheels. They were an aftermarket brand never offered from the factory.
      Good to hear from you & Happy holidays Bud!!!
      Want to go down memory lane look at some of his other wheels. CHAAAAA CHING.

      If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

        I've seen several similar wheels all made by Jackman?
        Mostly on 70's and early 80's trucks out here.

          Well, he has had all of the machined surfaces re-machined so that the freaking things look like new...

              SWEET JESUS!!! I just spewed milk all over my monitor!!! Now to show that to the bride and maybe she will forgive me for buying them. lol Great to see all the crew still hanging in there. Looking thru some old pics is giving me inspiration to finish the 83 Cherokee now. Thanks for the comments. I had my doubts about the wheels being factory but the price the guy was asking I wasn't gonna take a chance on doubting him and making him mad.

                    NICE! I wish I still had a J10. When scrap metal went up it sealed the fate for many FSJ's in my area. I haven't seen one for sale in over 2 years locally.

                        Good to see you still at it Scott! Long time no see. I drop in here occasionally.

                        Check the dark side out sometime:


                        I am guessing Jackmans as well on the wheels. Happy Jeeping!

                          Those do look like Jackman Racing wheels. Not factory by any stretch and you don't see too many around anymore. I however found a set last year.

                          I would grab them if they are reasonable!
