What size tires are those? They look nice.
Looking for new rims, need ideas

Thank you. They're 31x10.5
I wish someone like FJCO would make factory-looking hubcap rims in 16x7 or 16x8. I would be all over 5 of those ASAP.
Check out Nomad wheels...they come in 16x7 and 16x8... I've been following Shannon Campbell on YouTube and he is building a FJ40, thats when I first saw these wheels made by Nomad, they look sick, and they make a stainless optional hubcap that is held on by two counter sunk screws:

“Fifteen52” in 16” w/an easy mod to add clips/caps for a stock look. 17” available. Four color options.

These turned out really well and it was straightforward, it was time consuming to get the 30 holes drilled and tapped for the clips.
We went “round n round” on the selection but, the juice was certainly worth the squeeze..
Do you have a link for these rims and clips? These and the Nomads @rustED71 look pretty close to perfect. Only fifteen52 rims I'm seeing for the Cruiser in 16" seem to be the 5 spoke.

Clips were an EBay purchase. Although I think there are other vendors.

With all of the riveted rims being decommissioned, harvesting the clips from them is also an economical option.Analog HD _ Peak Grey | Off-Road Truck Wheels | 52OFFROAD

Something else to consider. You might find a design that you like but their color is off. You can always change the wheel color.
Factory color was flat black but I chose to go with Rustoleum Gray Hammered as it was close to the factory gray.

Maybe 16" Split Rims with hub caps an idea ?
I used ProComp 7069-5183 wheels which have a -47mm offset, 15x10, 6 on 5.5 pattern. I didn't use any spacers as the disc's had a thicker flange than the drum brakes. The clearance I had was just enough to clear the tie rod ends.
The studs were simply a replacement that I found and were longer than the factory studs. I then turned the threads off the last 1/2" or so and rounded the ends on a small lathe I have. I think this is the place I bought them from.
I forgot to mention. The factory lug nuts are 21mm and you can't get a lug wrench on them with these wheels. I bought some lugs that are 19mm with full seat contact as you can see in the photo.
Dayyumm.

The white wheels with the caps looks incredible.
