Aftermarket Wheel Options?

Is anyone making 6x5" aftermarket wheels these days?
I went on the American Racing website but it looks like they don't make anything compatible. I guess our wheels are an oddball size?
My previous SUV was an S10 Blazer and I got a set of AR wheels for it that looks fairly decent. Subtle, compared to most aftermarket wheels. They did start to corrode in just a couple of years, unlike the 10 years that factory wheels last before they start. S10's also had an oddball bolt pattern. Well, if you had 4x4, getting the bolt pattern with a deep wheel offset so they didn't stick out was difficult. Only 4th gen camaros were a direct fit. But those wheels were hard to find so I ended up just going with the aftermarket ones.

Either way, I'm probably not buying new wheels for my truck. But I was just curious what options there were and what the pricing would be.

There never were a lot of options for this platform and I think they're now all gone given the demise of the platform since 2009. There may be some for the SS guys but those would likely be in the 20"+ variety. Most of the time, it had to be other wheels from say, GMT800, with adapters. Not even sure if those are still available. We were always an oddball.

Or to find a good set from another GMT..

Buick Rainier
Chevy Trailblazer
Chevy SSR (Caution, they run staggered wheels, so in a AWD or 4x4 platform you need to find 4 fronts or 4 rears)
GMC Envoy
Isuzu Ascender
Oldsmobile Bravada
Saab 9-7x

Or do what a lot have done, wheel spacers that adapt from our hub size to a GMT800

I installed the 1 1/2 wheel spacers with the 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern, leads to a lot more wheel and tire size options.
