"Unique" Brand Wheels from Discount/America's Tire

Anyone heard of this brand? Is it a good wheel?
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...0139&rc=CSBINT

After rebate (and buying 5), it comes out to $52/wheel

The other two wheel choices are Pro Comp Rock Crawler Series 52 or 98.

52 series works out to $50.40/wheel
98 series works out to $53.20/wheel

So basically all 3 wheels are very comparable in terms of price. Since I am buying the tires from discount tires, I would prefer to buy the wheels and tires from them at the same time to maybe get a better discount, and if there are issues, I just have to deal with one store.

I just need to know if these Unique wheels are good. If not, I am going with the ProComps.

FYI...
I am going for 15x8 with 3.75 BS with 31x10.5 tires

I have to stop lurking about this place ! thanks very much mtnhrdgr for the posting and Mak92 for the link up appreciate you dudes.

I have wanted those rims a long time and never knew Summit carried our sizes doh

I am a 16 x7 stock kind of guy for my ride but at $59 that is still a deal.

I feel a keyboard frenzy coming on.

Those Uniques are just fine I have some currently but they are sold under a variety of names. The salesman at Discount several years ago told me only a few manufacturers still exist for these type of product.

Good strategy on buying with the tires but still know your pricing and don't hesitate to bring print outs with you from various websites so they can match it.

But when you can get Cragars for less well
