Graham,
I've had Dayton 72 stainless-spoke wheels with chrome rims on my BJ7 for
sixteen years and am very happy with them. They are of excellent quality in
my opinion. They are 5.5" width and I run 185/70-15R tubeless tires on them.
I had 60 chrome-spoke wheels before that, and broke spokes nearly every time
out.
Bob
BJ7
