Just out of curiosity, have you looked into wheels like these? Fairly cheap to pick up, and are fairly strong. I picked this set of 4 up for $200 a couple weeks ago. And they are 15x10
Valid point, they run ~50 a piece on the 4 and 5 packs for steelies new online. Even cheaper used. I got a set of four 15x8 3.75bs wheels mounted with Michelin LTX/AT2s so new the letters were still blue for $500 on Craigslist

Ive been checking craigslist, but i will now check for i guess black steel wheels or mags.
Did you just look at wheels for jeep as a keyword, or other keywords.
I can get brand new unique rims that look close to those, 15x8 with a -19 offset, for $62 a piece from Discount.
 
You're only 1% right. Ravines are the only 15x8 stock alloy thats 5on4.5" w/5.5"bs. All others are 15x7 w/5.25"bs.
I'm 100% right. I know stock wheels specs. Committed to memory. However, since you doubted, I checked myself to make sure I was correct.

There's several stock TJ wheels that are 15 x 8 with 5.5 BS.

Ravines (which I've owned), Canyons, Alcoa Jeep Wheels (which I've owned), and Gambler.


Note: Some sources say the 15 x 8 Canyon has 5.25 BS, but most say 5.5 BS. I think Canyon is probably 5.5 BS, but I've never had the opportunity to measure a Canyon. Those other stock 15 x 8 wheels are definitely are 5.5 BS.

I could list more links with wheel specs, but I think the above are enough.

Im now convinced that you're 2% right. The TJ Canyons are a 15x8 whereas the GC Canyons are 15x7. Theres a whole lotta "I haven't measured..." in those links.

I actually was mainly looking for tires. So my keywords were 33x12.5x15. but the main thing is that I know these are out there and can sometimes be had for good deals. I went in looking for tires, and got the whole set up for a deal I couldn't pass up
