Really want to know the answer to this myself. I’ve been so disappointed I couldn’t get the OEM steelies with my P400 ever since I learned it, and while I intend to de-brake the rear and get 18s for offroading purposes, I’d sure prefer they be steel.

Yes that's my plan too. I'm thinking I'll use the 20" wheels for a set of winter tyres and get some beefier LT A/T tyres on the 18s for summer fun. The white steels look great too so there is that.

Yes they do. There is also a version from Wheel Vintiques available in 14-18", various widths and bolt patterns and backspacing. I haven't verified the backspacing and bolt pattern work, but it's a good looking old school wheel.
I ran the 16" (offroad tires) and 17" (street) version on my previous Wrangler.

I've been wondering - with that caliper conversion, it says you still use your stock rotors and pads. Is there a loss in braking power front an overall smaller caliper (and I assume, possibly a smaller piston), or is it the same aside from the body of the caliper being smaller?

That's a cool looking setup alright. Love the battleship grey on the Jeep. I tell you hwut, after being on this forum and ordering my Defender I'm beginning to really appreciate the tricked out "toy" Jeeps a lot more. All that sidewall. Sidewall for miles and miles.

Yeah, no kidding. And how about the 3-hours to change out the bumper for a steel one, mount a Warn Zeon 10S, and paint the whole setup in-situ?

You didn't need a degree in rocket science, have to unbolt the entire front end of the car and have a dicey time with wiring looms? Where's the fun in that?
OEM Steelies and Lucky8 Caliper swap
