I got that 1st set with a set of tires. I hadn't found the ones with the holes yet, which is what I had been searching for. At first I thought "sweet - 2 birds, one stone", but I didn't really like the look of the 5 spokes for some reason. They look good on the excursions, just out of place on my crew (to me).

I have a shinier set of those alcoas with the 8 holes (better looking than in my pic) on my truck now and I LOVE um...

I know what they are. And I am telling you Mickey Thompson (the wheel company) made a forged wheel in that pattern - and I think made them more recently than the 70's.
