I saw them on my way out of Costco and I am a big fan of Costco's return policy. I reached out to Velox and they won't even allow me to purchase them unless I show them pictures of my Gladiator, agree not to put on wheels other than manufacturer spec, and give them the contact information of the shop installing them. Screw them..
Also, I can't find out where they are manufactured anywhere on the web. Same goes for most other wheels I have been looking at. Any recommendations?

IMO AEV wheels are the best wheels from an engineering, Jeep specific wheel, I think the Quadratec brand wheels are pretty decent as well but they have a little more offset than I like.

Almost all wheels are from China and that's where we are in the world today. What I don't see it the weight ? Most important to me. The wheels tires on my truck in my pic are Black Rhino With Nitto E 37 Ridge grapplers and I think that combo is 120lbs. Not ideal Method 316 Are about 28 lbs. BFG KO2 if you get a C rated tire in you size preference will be lite. I will be changing soon. I just want something different and im taking some road trips.

Most AEV and Quadratec wheels use 5.2 inches of back spacing. Quadratec also offers a couple wheels with 4.5 and 4.75 inches of b.s. That’s too much offset for my liking.
I’ve owned both AEV and Quadratec wheels over the years. They both offer high-quality, attractive, lightweight wheels. AEV has a clear edge in design. But once you introduce price into the equation, it tilts in favor of Quadratec: each wheel costs $100-$120 less, with comparable quality. That’s hard to pass up.
