I recently replaced my factory Rubicon wheels and tires. I need a metal spare wheel. Other than a jeep take off wheel where else would you find a metal rim?

Get the cheapest metal rim you can find… or even shop used.
You can get a generic steal wheel for under $60 - pending size.

What happened to the spare that came with the truck?

You should be able to get one from the dealer, or most any tire shop.

I waited and combed through Facebook marketplace place and found someone selling all 4 OE aluminum rims to match mine for $300 cad. I only wanted one to replace the 3 year old rusted steel spare rim so I can now do 5 tire rotation. I sold the other 3 for $100 each. New, they’re $700 at the dealership so they sold fairly quickly.

Do you need an OE steel spare or a different size? I have an OE steel spare sitting in the shed if you want it.

Looking for an OE for a spare to put a 35 inch tire on. Located in East Tennessee.

Better question, where do you find a non-metal wheel? Aluminum is a metal. Magnesium is a metal. Is someone making plastic wheels? Wood maybe?
Wood for sure, but spoiler alert, they don’t last long.

like the OP, it would be nice to have a 5th OE wheel for a 5-wheel rotation; these things are a bit pricey when new.

I'm all the way out in Utah, unfortunately. Not exactly a "drive halfway and pass it off" kind of distance.

yeap, underneath my jeep as we speak. still has the factory tire on it too. id prefer you to take the wheel and tire, but i can dismount the tire if that helps you out.

I may be in charleston this weekend, but we can meet up today or tomorrow. depending on weather, we may not go.
