I used to have a very nice set of 16x8 Mamba MOAB alloy clones, you could buy them direct from Quadratec in the US. They will fit a lifted KJ with the pinch weld mod, and have extra offset so they avoid sway bar rubbing. However, looking at the website just now, it seems that Mamba does not make the 16" version anymore. I sold my set to a guy from Toowomba, collectors items now it seems.

You could have a look at what Quadratec has in their catalog for TJ vehicles, same bolt pattern (5 on 4.5). But shipping from the US, and now GST as well, is a killer. I think I paid about $1500 for my set of five Mambas, pre-GST.

Locally forget tyre shops, see what Jeep shops like Wooders in Sydney, or Murchison or Hammonds in Brisbane can get for you.
