Sorry for a random one-off thread, but I've been trying to ID these wheels to no avail. I saved this picture long ago and haven't been able to find these wheels on the interwebs.. I'm also confused if these are even compatible with a locking hub, as the center bore looks tiny? I was hoping to find the manufacturer and see if they had any variants.

Also, what's the consensus on wheel width on a 33x12.5R15 tire? 8" or 10" I've read a bit, could use some pics of the difference if anyone has them?

Wheel width is subjective and you will get differing opinions on which width is better. I personally use 8" for my 12.50's and always have. That being said, if one of the major tire manufacturers would make a 10.50 width in 33" and 35" M/T and A/T I'd be all over those for my trucks.

Looks kind of like the US Mag Rambler wheel to me.

They might also be clicking in your memory of the old Halibrands on the original Cobras.
Not an exact clone, but very reminiscent.
