Looks like an after market wheel similar to the Ultra 164 or American Racing F-100. Lots of companies made them. Ford had an OE wheel in the 90’s that looked similar on F150 and Broncos.
 
Thanks for the help guys. Turns out they are off of an 04-05 Rocky Mountain edition and are the Alcoa’s which are forged aluminum. But unfortunately are a 5.25 backspacing and I really don’t like the idea of running spacers. But thank you guys for your help!

Are you wanting 33-35’s or something? 31s and less will fit with no issue, might rub a bit at full lock but you can adjust the steering stop with a washer to fix that.

I actually had 31s and black steel wheels with no suspension lift and it did not rub. But I recently did a 3in BDS lift kit and picked up a set of OEM TJ Rubicon wheels with a 285/75/16 that have a 5 backspace -and they rub at full lock. But in my opinion it looks odd because the tires are tucked underneath the fender flares. So needless to say I’m kind of looking for a set of a polished Mickey Thompson or similar on a 33x12.50r15 with a 3.75backspacing.

Not to mention the Jeep is a 4cyl
 
I have wanted a pair of the ALCOA wheels for years but I cannot find a set in good shape for the price. To bad they won't work for you. I think they lol great on our jeeps.
