Hi Guys,

Looking to lift my Level 2. Plan is to run 15x8's, Superlift and 33x12.5's. LMC truck has some Alcoa-looking rims that are 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing. Part number 50-4575. I called and they said that the wheels are made in America, however, they would not confirm whom makes them. Wondering if anyone had any ideas on this? Any experience with LMC rims?

Maybe us wheel? Or unique wheel, and I don't want this to get took out of context but a rim is a rim,

Some are made and finished better than others though.

They probably won't say because whoever makes them sells them themselves and LMC is scared you will cut out the middleman to save money... which might be worth checking into (looking at different companies for similar wheels and comparing prices)

My credo
I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
They're probably American Racing AR172. The American Racing Outlaw IIs next to them gave it away.

Except that there are a few other companies that make the Outlaw II as well.

I'd be more inclined to think they are made by Pacer. Pacer sells all three of those style alloys, and that steel wheel. AR doesn't advertise those steel wheels on their site.

Exactly my thoughts as well. The Alcoa's I have are great rims. I just want to make sure that when I switch them out, I have something as strong. Also, being originally from Pittsburgh area, I have a sentimental attachment to the Alcoa name.
