    One is not like the others (ford?), might want another reference since those are possibly Repainted early in life.

    No it's a legitimate jeep wheel, made by, IIRC "Wheel Company", used for a bit somewheres during the CJ2 production run. That's factory paint on them.

    I've posted pics of these before, but since I was the inspiration for this thread I thought I'd throw I picture in here too....

    I've got white wheels on the more stock looking Jeep:

    And I've got black wheels on the modified Jeep:

    I like them both and wouldn't change either one. The right wheels for the right Jeep.

    Roy, you're headed down that black hole to h---- well someplace anyway. Personally, I never gave a lot of thought to wheel colors. My 5 has had both black and white wheels but on it. I do think the white looks better with the Empire blue.

    Good Mornin' , Fellah's,
    .... Lately , I have given it a ton of thought. In fact, it's gotten a bit trying at times, with the added time constraints & all. :waiting: I Really , Really , Really have the itch to start Driving mine again......It's been an awfully long Winter here, for this Kid anyways. My tire & wheel project is a mix of practicality & design. Although the wheels I've chosen to put my time & cash into are not Period correct , they do have a great Jeep History. :flag: Now......I get to leave the " Black or White " wheel debate & be proud of the fact that I was able to powder coat match the Imron painted body color of ' Rosie ' , with the added touch of a kinda custom designed pin stripe . :whistle:
    This is very tough sorta Job , especially when one tries to do someth'n that he's not that skilled at :confused: I have learned a lot , though....which is always a good thing . IE : Leave the Frigg'n Sand Blasting to the Pro's :crazy:
    Thanks to everyone's help & with all this being said...... A little more time & I'll be proud to show them off to Ya'll. :cool:
