Silly question: what color were the original wheels on a '68 CJ-5?

    White, AFAIK. It's actually more like a cream color.

    My '57 is body color but my understanding is later Early CJ-s went to the off-white/cream whatever color that Timgr mentioned. Might look in the restorations section I "think" there was a thread in there dealing with this but it's been a while and I'm getting old so memory is a little fuzzy....:) I know it's been talked about in the past but may have been quite a while ago.
