So the PO on my 60 put some Aluminum ProComp 15X10's. Honestly - I really like them - but they are looking a little rough. Also, I wanted to get a spare - and I cannot find one anywhere.
So - I started looking for what else might fit.

I do have some questions.
Question 1: I can find plenty of 15X8 Aluminum procomps - can I use that for my spare and just buy one of those? If so - do I put a 35 12.5 on there like i have on the 10's?

Question 2: Looking for opinions from the peanut gallery. Do I:
A) keep my stock and keep trying to find a spare?
B) do A then powder coat them black
C) Get these sweet assed chrome MT's
D) Get these Black MT's that look a little modern for the rig.

TO be noted - I am getting a Trail Tailor Tail and Roof Rack

Option A

Option C for me
 
I like option C if you are looking to keep it classic looking. I like option D if you're looking to trick it out Jeep style with sliders, bumpers, racks, swingout spare, etc...
 
Option A
 
So I have the Eagle alloys. I am cheap. So no chroming nothing. These are aluminum and can be polished out.
So what did I do? Bought some sand paper and started sanding and polishing out all of the corrosion. Started at 120 grit and moved all the way up to 3000 grit. Then used aluminum polish and the results were like below. Now to clear coat them.

Before and after (this is exactly how all 5 of mine looked before I started and after I was finished.) So you get the idea. It is about 1/2 hour per wheel to get the below results. I imagine if i spend more time they would look even better.
