Not Alcoas.

They're Welds. They quit making them some years back due to cracking issues. Check yours over closely before mounting them.

Re: what brand alloys

Alcoas have larger round holes. The Weld holes are more oval shape. Seems like KMC or someone made cheaper knock off Welds too. You might be able to find the manufacturer if you look close at the wheel.

I've had each on my various duallys over the years so I've seen them first hand many times.

Re: what brand alloys

well I will have a good close look thats for sure, if they are welds then they will match the welds on my mopar, you could be right too, now you mention the shape of the holes, I did a quick google on Alcoa and they do seem to be more round than oval
