Anyone know where these style rims can be purchased?

They look like every spare tire rim to every car I've ever had.

No where. Unless you want to do an axle swap to make them fit.

Thanks tslewisz- can anyone else find similar ones? I dig the utilitarian nature of the J8's wheels. I think most after market wheels are too douchy.

All kidding aside, I've looked high and low. And I have never been able find that style wheel that fits the stock bolt pattern. The wheel that tslewisz linked to is the mopar steel winter wheel that is used on the overland concept. Not quite the same.

The piece that's missing from this info is that the Ram uses a different bolt pattern than the JK. The J8 does not use stock JK axles. These wheels won't fit a stock JK.

Thanks all-
Not that it'd be economical, but i wonder if adapters are available to mate the different bolt patterns. They might serve as spacers too which might be a good thing.

Stockton Wheel has some nice utilitarian offerings. Beadlocks, too, if you want them.

Just found Diamond Racing Wheel, too. Trucker series looks good. Not douchy at all.
