    Hello and thanks for taking time to read this.

    I'm restoring a 1970 CJ5, with 15" wheels and Lockers, I'm looking for a set of solid steel wheels for it, something more vintage looking, also looking to save where possible to spend on the mechanicals, any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    The original wheels for your ‘70 were likely 5-1/2” Kelsey Hayes. They have 3 raised bumps to retain the small dogdish hubcaps.

    That is a beautiful Jeep with a great profile! I have a red '71 CJ-6 fire Jeep, and will be installing a 2 1/2" BDS lift on it shortly. I love the old "steelie" look, and appreciate your link to the Wheel Vintiques 62...those are going on my wish list, as well.
