Discount Tire sale 16x7 wheels

[Bluebaru]

These wheels just caught my eye and are 16x7, +38. I just haven't found the tire that would put me over the top to get them. Great price though, with $100 off a set of 4. I've been considering https://www.discounttire.com/buy-wheels/mb-wheels-crux some 235/75/16's for awhile. Note these wheels are only $120 each before the $100 discount on a set!

Any idea what material and process these are made with?

You would have to check with Discount Tire but I'm pretty sure they are cast Aluminum but they seem to be reasonably strong, with a load rating of 1800lbs. and weigh 23.8lbs. So, not exactly light but stronger than many of the other 16 and 17" wheels that can be found with only a ~1600lbs load rating. One of the things I like about Discount tire is they list the load rating but unfortunately unlike TR, they don't tell you how they are made. I think, pretty much all the info is available, if you call either of them.
The only AT tires, in a 235/75/16, on TR's site. Unfortunately I've had sidewall issues with the SL load rated Cooper AT3-4S, when off road, on another car and I'm only seriously considering XL load rated tires now, even though I consider the Firestone Destination AT2, a good tire and the Hankook Dynapro AT2 Extreme is XL load rated but it's predecessor, the Dynapro AT2, did so poorly in TR's tests that I wouldn't seriously consider it, without TR or Tyre_Reviews, testing it. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?zip-code=23234&width=235/&ratio=75&diameter=16&rearWidth=225/&rearRatio=75&rearDiameter=16&performance=ALL
