Hi all, anyone know what wheel or wheels came stock on a 1997 Sport?

My 97 has the Gamblers on it. This thread shows pictures and other wheels too.

My build sheet states 15x7 Full-Face Steel Wheels

Well based on that, these are your wheels and center caps.

I do like the rugged, utilitarian look of them.

Thanks guys. My build sheet just says 15×8 Alluminum Wheels. Was hoping someone would say Canyons. I really like those and looking to go with a stock wheel.

Canyons were stock on Wranglers, I think they started in '00. They were on ZJs in '97 or '98, iirc.

Oh! Sorry, I thought my first post was answering YOUR question! If your build sheet says "15×8 Aluminum Wheels", then a quick internet search said your 1997 jeep left the factory with Gamblers.
Not a bad looking wheel.

But if you like the Canyons, put them on! No one will complain and if your like me, your the sole financial backer of your jeep! So you get to make all of the decisions! Plus the Canyons are still stock wheels.

Yep, maybe the most produced wheels ever, since 1987, on YJs, XJs, MJs, TJs.
Now on my TJR

32 years old.

Haha I was just comparing the canyons vs gamblers. I think they both look great! There is a nice set of Canyons for sale that I may try and grab this weekend. But I wouldn't mind having both!

Gamblers are a great old school choice. I rate them way above Moabs.

Agreed, a very popular wheel that doesn't do anything for me. But then I also thought that whoever designed the full-face steel wheels was a short timer that didn't even try to come up with something that people would want. Most boring wheels ever made. Now I own two sets. Go figure.
