Hi Kelvin.
They are aftermarket steel's made by Mullins/CSA. They are a 17x8" with a 30mm positive offset.
They come in any colour you like, as long as it's white
I took mine to a local powder coater and had them over coat in the grey (I was actually hoping they would be a bit darker).
They fit fine, but the spoke area of the rim runs very close to the front callipers, 1 to 2mm tops. So far so good, but I would have preferred a little more clearance (I have been toying with machining a 2mm shim to space them out a little, but…).
As far as quality goes, they are “OK”… not the best, not the worst; they are actually made somewhere in Asia and imported by Mullins/CSA. It actually took three trips and six rims to find four that were not damaged, but Mullins/CSA, to their credit, swapped them over no questions asked.
Here's a closer shot
But if I could do it again I would rather get something more like what joracha has on his truck, with less positive offset.

Hi Kelvin.
I'm not sure what offset is on the factory alloys, but my steel rims have 30mm positive offset (as written on the box). If I get a moment, I’ll measure the alloys tonight.
EDIT. The 17x7.5 factory alloys measure 79mm from the WMS (Wheel Mounting Surface) to the outer edge and 138mm from the WMS to the inner edge, so I guess that makes it an offset of 59mm...
As you guys are probably starting so see, I love pictures...
This shot shows the Rangie trying to get up where the 110 did an axle.
