Another thread revival/ update...
The Jeep has a leaking pinion seal on the front differential that I need to replace... I'm planning to tackle that very soon.
Also, the tires have aged out... they still have plenty of tread, but they are now 10 years old and beginning to show cracks between the treads. The wheels and tires that are on it came off a 2014 Wrangler JK... the JK's had a different bolt pattern (5 on 5" instead of 5 on 4½") so I've been using wheel spacer/ adapters. I decided it's time to get away from that...
I've been looking for a set of the OEM wheels that originally came on the Jeep...

...they come up for sale fairly often, but sell quick... I haven't had any luck getting a set until today.

I picked up 6 fairly cheaply. The two on the left are slightly darker and have some staining in the paint... the other four cleaned up nicely. I'll use the top left wheel for a spare and put the bottom left wheel in storage.
