Bought some used wheels, help identifying.

I just picked up a set of used wheels for $280. They came off a F350 obs. They are 16x8, cast aluminum and made in China. Which 99% of new wheels are made these days. They look similar to the factory alcoas. The holes are smaller then Mickey Thompson classics. Anyone ever see wheels like this before?

Could be anything. There might be a stamping or sticker on there somewhere, or some identifying marks *inside* the rim (i.e. Remove the tire). I know that a number of aftermarket wheel manufacturers made similar looking designs. Could be American Racing, Modern, Ultra, or Method, or any number of others. The holes look too small for an Ultra, but beyond that, no clue.

Possibly. Its hard to say, it's entirely possible that there was one factory in China that cranked these things out in huge numbers, and just slapped whatever name on them, based on who was paying the bill. It's pretty common.

Not quite like factory Alcoa's, but look pretty darn good. Especially for $280!

Thanks! I agree. I have alcoas now with 315/75 duratracs. The wheels are a little too narrow only being 7” wide. I want to get new tires (same size) but on a wider wheel. These are 8”. I love the forged alcoas, and having a hard time running a “made in China” wheel. But not many options these days with wanting to keep the factory style 8 hole look.
