Rims for WK2?
 

I'd like a spare set of rims for a WK2 (18") so I can run two sets of tyres (one for off-road, one for on-road). I'm too scared to even ask what they'd be as a Jeep spare part. Has anybody identified a suitable after market rim?

I'm in that boat too Marc, and have made a few enquiries around home and Brisbane with no joy so far. My preference would be for steel wheels for the off road work - ideally similar to the white spoked ROH wheels that gave us great service on our Patrol.
I'll follow any info here with interest...

Get in touch with CRDStu, he has fitted some aftermarkets to the WK2.

I'm keen as well to find some steelies that I could use on a trailer but haven't had any luck. What about ordering some of the spare steel rims from Jeep spare parts?

The mopar.com.au site lists a 18" alloy for $330 each, looks pretty good but sounds dear to me.

How about trying one of the specialist Jeep wreckers like Jeeepart in Hervey Bay who also bring in new parts from the USA. Contact Peter Darlison peterd@j-p-r.com who is their Sales Manager and an all right guy.
