A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: Who made these wheels?

The wheels on my truck are very similar, and are branded Ultra on the caps.

They appear to be a knockoff a wheel marketed by Weld Wheels back in the 80's / 90's. Ultra, Eagle, KMC, and at least a few other companies all had a version.
