Can someone help identify these wheels 15x10 6x5.5

I need some help identifying this wheel. I need to pick up an extra one as I had a tragic incident happen where the wheel was either intentionally sabotaged or attempted to be stolen and failed. This lead to the lugs being extremely loose or gone when I took my next drive and it elongated the mounting holes. This wheel is pretty much trash now. I may throw it on as a spare since I only had 4 to begin with. Anyways, long story short I took about a 5 mile trip and I got back and the wheel was resting on the hub when I parked. I have no idea how it didn't fall off. I had a small issue or two that I noticed on the way back and figured I would address it when I arrived and that is what I was greeted with.

I have done quite a bit of work to the truck, so a little issue that seemed apparent when breaking didn't surprise me since it has been the only problem i've had since working on the truck. Anyways, here is the photo and I'm in pretty good need to find another one of these.

Any help or direction in locating one or the make or model would be more than appreciated. The backspacing is 3.75 in case someone from the area happens to have one or know someone. You never know. Anyways, thanks all for taking a look.

Off of an 84 4runner.
Wheels are aluminum

I updated the original post, it is off an 84 4runner. I am not the biggest fan of the wheels, but they are what came with the tires and the tires are all I was looking for at the time.

Wheels are alluminum.

They look very similar to american racing AR-39s. I just google imaged american racing truck and found them pretty quickly. I'd say they are a knockoff of the AR's.

I know

I have done some checking up and looking around. No luck with finding a replacement yet. They are a 10 yr old wheel or so, from what someone told me.

I'm going to give these guys a call: http://reidstires.com/reids/ar39.cfm

Don't think they are open on the weekends. Nothin on craigs or ebay (a set being sold, but not the right size).

If anyone happens to see one or know where to get one, please don't hesitate to post up or PM me. I appreciate everyone's help.

It looks like an AR-39, which is no longer produced by American Racing. Your best bet is to search around Craigslist or Ebay, but the odds that someone would be selling a rim with that same bolt pattern and backspacing is slim.

Edit:
However, it does look like some sort of knockoff as Leviticus stated. At a glance they look the same, but once you really look at them, the differences are obvious.

My suggestion is to purchase a set of Outlaw IIs. That's my unbiased opinion

Thanks. It leaves me with a few option. Either purchase all new wheels (don't really want to do that now). Have a machine shop true the holes and sleeve them. Not quite sure that they would even do that though. I could try and find a very similar rim too. The last option that I see is to take it in to a tire/wheel shop and have them just match me up with a steelie for now.

Anyone know if running a single steelie while the others are aluminum will have any adverse affects over time? I wouldn't think so, but could throw things off due to the weight difference.

Does anyone know the diameter of the center caps for these? The genius at discount pounded on and destroyed one of them when putting on my new tires -__-

Nope, I'd ask discount to make it right for you.

I've seen several different styles of these wheels. I will look at one of mine to check for a name brand.

I had those wheels on my 89 4x4 Pickup. I thought they were great at the time but they kind of look at bit dated.
