Thanks guys!
I'm no stranger to rattlecanning steel wheels with decent results
These are my winter rims on the DD:
And a close-up because I'm a shameless showoff:
I'd be surprised to see that the wagon wheels were really a "bright white" since the examples available to me suggest some shade of creme, but that's the whole reason I'm asking. I know that US Wheel 70 Series wagon spokes are bright white, this is one I picked up as a miss-matched single for $30 to see if it'd fit on the Patriot (it didn't, 1" offset was a little too much):
But (and it's a big but, haha!) the Jeep spoke wheels I've got are so yellow/brown it's hard to imagine they were ever a frosty bright snow white:
Sorry for the funky angle, it's to dark to grab a fresh pic and that's the best one I've got in the imgur.
I've also recently had eyes on an 83 J10 with steelies (dog dish style) and while the pic doesn't do it justice, they also look like they've always been a creme color. The passenger side (not pictured) has been north-east facing for the last ten years, and the tires+wheels look much less sun-rotted and faded than the driver's side:
The literature (sales brochures) are too tough to tell. They do look like a bright white in the brochure pics, but EVERYTHING looks extra bright in those pics, so there's no telling what they actually looked like.
If they really are bright white with a red stripe, then that's great since it'd be easy enough to replicate. I asked about the Rally's because I'm going to switch to Chevy Rally's I've got lying around since they're a little wider, and they'll fit with the "Honcho" better than the base steelies that are on it. Thanks again guys!
