Need help identifying these wheels!

I bought these wheels from a tire shop back when I lived in Spokane, WA. I cant for the life of me figure out who makes them. I've tried all the big online places I know of and even the shop didn't know. I need a full size spare for my crawler and it'd be nice to have the same wheel. Here's a pic of it. They are 15X8 6 lug and never had those crazy pinstripes on them like the American Racing ones.

Those sure look like them but I dont' see a 15X8. The tire I shop I got them at mentioned they deal with US wheel alot so I checked them out and found these.
EDIT.. found a better picture of these and they have that silly pinstripe on them.

Wheels for my 2nd Gen would be 3.75" backspacing right?

15x8 6x5.5 3.75" back spacing

The ones on summit say that they have a red/blue stripe around the outside.

Thanks Kyle I just noticed that too. The 4wheel parts ones look like the ones I need.

Like Kyle said, they do look EXACTLY like the cragar softs 8s though. I've been staring at the pictures and can't see any difference.

Here is a link for the cragar. Would save you some money and looks the exact same. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Hope this helps

Edit: Nope, Nope. My fault. The cragars have 4" backspacing and the rock crawlers have 3.75" backspacing. That could help you determine which one you need.

The 4Wheel parts one and the Cragar soft 8's look the same (at least from pictures), but the only difference I see is the backspacing:

4wheel parts: 3.75"
Cragar Soft 8: 4.00"

both are a 15x8 rim. I'm not sure if 0.25" is that big of a deal, just something to point out.
