The closest thing that i have found is the AR23 by american racing or the Ultra 51. They are both stars but not nearly the slick look that the Moab wheels have.

You can find people selling Moab rims on ebay all the time. Depending on what size tire you run you can run the moabs.

Do the moab wheels stick out more than like factory wrangler wheels - is the backspacing more or less or whatever. Just curious cause I have extended flares on my jeep and don't want em to look goofy, cause my wheels have different backspacing than factory wheels.

Rubicon Wheels (Moabs) have 5.0" of backspacing. They are 16x8". Stock wheels are either 15x7" or 15x8" and have 5.5" of backspacing.

I can't tell from your response if you are running factory wheels or not. If you are then they will stick out slightly more given the backspacing and possible the rim width.

I am runnin 15x8 with 4.5" backspacing along with xenon extended flares. Would the rubicons look goofy under those flares, like not stick out enough??

Do the ones you have today stick out? How much? Are you running 31x10.5s?

ya 31x10.5 - looks good, don't stick out at all. Just about to the edge.
