Are the factory white spokes worth anything?
While pulling the bumper from the Cherokee today I noticed it had a white spoke spare. I've got a complete set of 5 white spoke wagon wheels but not sure if there is any interest in them. Are the white spokes gone out of style or are there people still looking for them?

Ahhh man, you made my heart skip a beat...
I listed them here 3 or 4 times over the last couple of years with ZERO interest, and I put them on ebay twice... Once was a non-paying bidder, and the second time my $50 reserve was not met...

What you got in scrap is close to what my nephew wants for his, and it's just by chance he ended up with them, had that not happened and desided that was what I wanted I sure would have bid them over your reserve.

Best interest for them are for someone's offroader looking for cheap steel rims to abuse. I got $50 for a set of 4 , I had a while back.
I bought new ones for my truck because I didn't want the rusted old ones.They are fairly cheap new also.
Put them on craigslist for cheap, sell locally..Shipping will be more than the price paid for the wheels.

If they were black there would probably be more interest. I see a lot of black wagon wheels around here on baby jeeps going for that stripped down look.

I run white wagon wheels on my cherokee. When I first got it, it had some cheesy chrome wheels on it. Then when I got the parts J10 that I got my T18 from, it had the white wagon wheels on it. I liked them a lot better. So I pulled them off, sprayed on a new coat of paint, and sold my old chrome wheels for like 150-200!
Only thing is these are aftermarkett wagon wheels, but they work just fine. I found that I still had the factory wagon wheel under it for a spare. And it even still had the factory (dry rotted) tire on it, never used! Even though the wheel was rusted pretty good, it still works fine as a spare. I added a used non dry rotted tire to it.

I'm running the factory wagon wheels on my Honcho (though they have been painted gold). I plan on going back to white someday. I thought aout running some Wagoneer Limiited (like early GW) rims (even had them mounted) but decide I liked the wagon wheels better.
That and the Waggy wheels made my tires rub my spring pack...
