Unashamed 400 addict. Best. Trucks. Ever.
My first guess is the American Racing AR172 Baja wheels. Plus there's numerous copies of it by other manufacturers.
No Bowtie on the center caps.

It should be cast in on the back side.

Gotta have 4 doors..... Rawhide, TOTY 2023!
Those look like old school bullet holes to me, like @Dravec was saying. Lots of companies made these back in the day. Should have the manufacturer or at least the foundry cast into the back side....

It's what a tire shop man would call a "commodity" wheel. Made overseas and sold through many different brand names. Worth whatever you can sell 'em for.. if they're in good shape, the wheels alone are probably $250-$400 for the set. With good tires, of course more $.

They look like ion wheels or classic Mickey Thompson wheels to me but I could be wrong tho

I had no idea aluminum rims could be like that. I think Ford had a rim similar in design for the Superduty, early on. I think they're a decent looking rim.

Yep... Ford had them in multiple sizes and lug patterns. Not a bad looking OEM wheel, but as most tend to be, a bit skinny.
I'm sure you're already aware most of the wheels sold by OEMs are made by outside companies. Ronal made a lot of the higher-end aluminum wheels for GM special models (Tahoe Limited for example, and B-body Impala SS), and Alcoa made the first generation of SRT8 stuff while Superalloy (Chinese company) took the contract for second generation and later. The SRT stuff is pretty nice for OEM offerings, being actual forged vs. cast. Fumagalli of course makes the GM "transport" 22" steelies that were never supposed to see the streets, but be returned as cores to GM for the next shipment of trucks...
Then you get the aftermarket, where most of the stuff is made overseas, but with varying levels of quality. Some of the really cheap stuff is just badge-engineered with a sticker on a center cap and custom printed boxes. There's also quite a bit of design piracy. Similar-looking wheels not necessarily made by the same place.
