I need two white steel 16" wheels for a '98 HZJ75 (6 lugs). I am pretty sure I have seen these around in the US (these came from Australia), but searching got me nowhere, what with all the search spam these days.

I am open for used in good condition or new if it comes to that. I don't care about matching the red and white pin stripes.

Any pointers/suggestions on where to look? Are these common in the US?

Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Here's what they look like:





 
Pacer makes a 310W steel wheel that is 16x7, 6x5.5 lug with 4 in BS.

American Racing used to make a white wagon wheel also
 
Looks like these: Unique 21

Check the BS. The off the shelf 7760 series have 4" BS and do work no problems.

Unique used to take custom orders, and there was room on the inner to move the BS to 3.5". That was a few years ago.

Thanks Greg.

Googling on Unique also got me to the US wheels 70 series: U.S. Wheel 70 series, which have the exact same numbering system as the Series 21 - same manufacturer? These US Wheels definitely have right pinstriping, but it is hard to tell if the Unique wheels do from the bad photo they have online.

On the backspacing - since my tires (235/85R16) are bit wider than stock, I occasionally rub lightly on the inside. I take it, from your advice about 3.5" and also from https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html that I can move to 3.5" backspace and stop the rubbing? Any other reason to do this? Any downside to doing this (besides some additional cost)? Unique's website doesn't mention custom backspace - I'll have to give them a ring.

Cheers.
