I recommend round wheels that keep tires on and air tight. As long as they fit those requirements, are the proper lug pattern for your axles/hubs, and aren't spaced too far in or out, you should be fine. Style is really up to you.

I run the 069's (same wheel albeit the Eagle Wheels version) on my F250 in 17x10, 8x6.5" variant and have no complaints. I'll probably run the Pro Comp 69's on my CJ-8 when I get around to it. I enjoy the style and simplicity of the "bullet hole" aluminum wheels, as I cannot buy into the gawdy black wheel trend. But to each their own.

It looks like the 15x8's (5 on 5 1/2)are only $70 each. That's $210 for 4. I'd say that's a pretty good deal. ? I like them.

Looks to be 25% off if you buy 4 or more, so get 1 free and one more at 25% off if you buy 5. Gotta have a spare tire, right?

I think this issue you have to watch out for is the diameter of the center hole. Mickey Thompson makes the Classic line (looks a lot like these), but it's my understanding that they shrunk the center hole at some point (Classic III?) and they no longer fit over the hubs on CJs even with the right bolt pattern. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: This chart could be handy https://www.morris4x4center.com/jeep-knowledge-center/jeep-wheel-specifications/

Looking at the q&a for the rims, somebody asked about the wheels fitting over CJ hubs and a company rep said they will fit. YMMV though.

I'm running Classic IIIs without any issue. I do have Scout hubs, but they're the 6-bolt that uses the same lockout as the '76-'81(?) CJs. It's tight getting them over the hub, and I can't use a flat-washer for the hub studs/nuts; just a lock washer since the flat washer sticks out too much for the wheels.
