Check out customoffsets.com. You might be able to find some info on them there

Brand is pretty well known and they are sold everywhere. I have no experience with them though.

Looks good. You'll love the KO2's. Everyone I know loves them as well.

nice setup. what width rim are you running? any offset? no rubbing? this is exactly what im looking to do, do your tires stick out a little past the fender at all?

Thanks man!

It's an 18x9 wheel with a +18 offset and a 5.71 backspace. I have zero clearance issues and the tire is flush with the top portion of the fender. I also have a 2" Hell Bent Steel leveling kit up front so im not sure if that helps with the clearance or not. BFG KO2 tires - 275/70R18

It's always been amazing to me what wheels and tires can do for a vehicle, 10 fold improvement over stock man! As far as reliability I've only seen fuel wheels and xd series kmc wheels crack. That being said I won't condemn those two brands either, I personally had a 24" KMC wheel crack on my 06 dodge, and they warrantied it and JB weld seemed to hold until the replacement was shipped, the fuel ones I've seen crack were on a very abused pickup, towed heavy and drove really fast over terrain that probably shouldn't have been gone over than fast, darn ol Carli suspension systems make the Heavy duty pickups ride too nice i guess lol

Thank you, I agree! I stopped by the Gear Wheels booth at the SEMA show this year and they make wheels for offroad race trucks and implement the same technology in their more "everyday" wheels too. So far so good, I'm a fan of their product and they were reasonably priced too!
