So, I really, really, like the Black Bear and Willys wheels. Frankly though I am more likely to get a sport S with 3,73 and lsd, or an outright Rubicon than a Willys Wheeler "W" and who knows when 2017 Black Bear will come out or how spendy it will be. Even if i get a rubi, whose wheels are ok for me, I likely would get a second set of wheels and tires.

Black Bear and WW wheels are about as common on Craigslist as a modern man without self pity. And buying from Mopar makes that first divorce seem cheap.

Soooo.. Please do help me identify good quality 17/7.5 or 8/75 alloys that look pretty darn close in preferably mat black but maybe gloss black. winner of the contest gets my chocie of reward, either a set of sport S wheels, or if I am feeling generous, their equivalent on Craigs, which I see is about $0.25.

[I understand why guys lift, and I think that is cool, but I m not going to, I am going to stay stock size for now, so please lets stay close to the size of the stock wheels).

Thanks for any advice!

This. They come in a slighter wider size the the OEM wheels, and with good backspacing.

Yes eBay and Craigslist have tons of take off Willys wheels.

Lol. Not where I live DC/NoVA. Absolute ZERO at any price. More peope selling their souls than ww wheels. Not even when I run archive to look back quite a few months.

Many Rubi. insane numbers of sport S wheels, No willys or Black bear.

Even when I look nationally I see maybe one set per 100 other take offs.

On ebay I see one set of four for $1500 with 30,000 miles on them!, that is more than getting them from a mopar dealer

FWIW: I find GLOSS BLACK wheels look strange; black wheels look best in satin.

You may be better off buying a Rubicon set and having them powder coated.

i dont need to do that. I want to find something similar, hence the original post I made.

As far as part 5LW63RXFAA, there is not any set of five on ebay, And I only see sets of four for around $900 shipped in "exchange" where you have to ship your rims to them as well.
