Got to admit, I like these better than the stockton wheels. If anyone knows what these are, please post.

I believe those ARE stockton wheels. The thread those pics came from, the owner told us so.

IDK I have looked at the Stockton site and these wheels are a bit different. Stockton has the series 20 and 22. 20 does not have the center ring and the 22 has the ring but it is larger in diameter and it has four flat or fat spots around it. I PM'd the owner of this rig but no answer yet.

Please keep me informed. I think these might be smoothies. I am looking for 17's or even 18's. This is exactly what I am looking for. I did find some 18" smoothies, but the price ($300's per wheel).

Not to be argumentative but I searched every post the owner of this rig started and he never mentioned what brand of wheel this is. He posted the photo and someone asked him but he did not response. I have also PM's him but got no response. I also sent the photo to Stockton but have not gotten a response. They MIGHT be Stockton series 51 or 52 smoothies but none of the photos on the web sight show the wheels without a hub so it is tough to tell.

A different jeep (green with white) rims posted that his are from Stockton. They are totally smooth and do not have the raised center ring that these rims have.

If I get a definite answer from the owner or from Stockton I will post it here.

OK found it. You were right.

"Yeah they're Stocktons "smoothie wheels". 17x8. 4.5" backspace. 35-12.50 BF Goodrich KM2's"

They are from Stockton but they are not the series 20 or 22. They are the smoothies as I suspected but he does not say which series 51 or 52. They are bucks up though at $200 per wheel unfinished.

I think Summit Racing has some cheaper smoothies that 16" rim size.......I think they come raw steel but then you could get them powdercoated.

They do, some with partial chrome, some raw. The 16's are about 1/2 the price of the 17's.

I'm just not sure the extra inch is worth the extra cost.
