What Jeep was it? If it was a Grand Cherokee it could have been an SRT with the 6.1L. I can't recall any of them having turbos available on them.
Weird thing about the wheel is mine has the word “Raptor” cut into the silver painted part at the bottom of the wheel. Most online Raptor style wheels don’t have that. I’m betting someone bought it and installed it for whatever reason.
Anything's possible I guess, but that seems like an awful lot of cash to drop aftermarket when you only kept the truck for literally 11 months... Wheel is at least $600, plus any adapters. I'm still wondering if it's part of the pro trailer backup kit... anybody else have this option and/or this wheel on a non-Raptor?
I am not into Jeeps, and do not care for them or pay attention to which ones they are. All I can tell you is that it was a big one. He use to take long trips to visit his siblings and there children with it. That is all I know about it.

The oem raptor wheel is 600, but I’ve seen aftermarket versions at 450. Ford has 3 versions of leather for the f150 wheels. Standard, limited and raptor. The standard is pleather and about 250. The limited is around 500. I installed a limited wheel, Ford oem, from the dealer and it was so distorted that it rubbed against the steering column.... that’s a 3/16” gap that they somehow overshot in the molding. After cutting down that rubber, I found the wheel itself was not “flat,” and was able to bend it out... about 1/4”. I like it now, but man that was bad. If I’d caught it before installing I’d have sent it back for another.
the mounting patterns for the wheels are the same, the airbag clips in the same. Once you figure out the length of screwdriver to detach the airbag clips, it’s a 10min swap.
Don't get the 5.0. I had a 2018 (first year of the 2nd gen) and they all still have the off throttle rattle, and most including mine drank oil until Ford came out with a reflash about a year ago.
The 2.7 EB is the best F150 engine overall, 3.5 for towing. I got a Ram 1500 a few months ago and like it a lot more than the F150, especially the engine, interior, and price.
My 2018 has the 2.7. I really like this engine. It’s great on gas and tows better than anything else I’ve known. The truck has 33k on it now. I really like the truck. The down side:
1. dashboard-off HVAC repair at 30k miles. 2. Exhibiting 10spd shifting issues, partly addressed with a flash which IMO hurt the overall driveability. 3. Now showing a small leak, smells like it’s on the passenger side of the engine, can’t see it. Those turbos stay under boost, probably low boost but doing work nonetheless with a camper behind it I’d guess anytime over 45mph.

Oh, I know all about those EB's. They ROCK. Love 'em.
Oh, I'm not getting rid of my NA Subarus. They're almost as cheap as a weedeater to own and maintain, if you're doing it right. If I didn't live in the rust belt, my Outback would literally get by on 1 Fram Ultra air filter and 3 Harvest King synthetic oil changes per year, with a $2 filter, for a grand total of somewhere around $56 in costs. 15k miles/yr @ ~2.30/gal @ 27.2mpg comes out to almost exactly $1325 per year operating costs plus $25 for plates. Not bad for something you can always trust to get you there.Glad to see I'm not the only one bored with NA Subarus. LOL
This may end up jinxing me, but through 15 years and 5 different Subarus, other than the occasional dead battery, none have ever left me stranded. So sure, they're boring. But a great wife can also be boring, if you don't know what you've got

You can have mine if ya want it...
I have trailer backup stuff. Dont have paddles. The only way to get paddles is Raptor or added to truck later. The HO ecoboost in the newer limiteds "may" have paddles, but I dont think so.
Im very confident your wheel was added to truck by previous owner or as an up sell by dealer. BTW top speed is 107 mph from factory. IDK if 5* raises speed limiter. I assume they do.
