Unless I've just been missing something, is there a reason why a rock pattern wheel hasn't been made? Too much variation and preference in backspacing/ rim size? With all the other rockwell aftermarket parts, it just seems like somebody would've gotten on this by now. Ditto for 'mogs. ***Too clarify, I'm not actually looking for some myself, just curious why of in the slew of parts, none are mass produced. I do understand that stazworks and USA6X6 does this, but they're typically a one-off basis aren't they?
 
Demand I think..

Despite their apparent popularity, rocks and mogs fits into the 1% of off-road rigs. For every rig on mogs, there's probably

2 rigs on rockwells (6x8.5)
200 rigs with 8x6.5"
400 rigs with 6x5.5
1500 rigs with 5 x 4.5 or 5 x 5.5

Plus, people do rocks mainly for one reason- It's the cheapest way to get really strong axles. Your average rockwell guy isn't looking to drop $1000+ on a set of wheels. You see plenty of people welding centers into other wheels because it's cheaper.

You also touched on another good point.. LOTS of variation in backspacing and more than that, width. Mine are a bit of an oddball, 17x9 with 6.5" BS, most run about 3.5-4.5" BS, but the whole gamut of widths, from 10-20" wide.

But there are companies making them, MRW comes to mind.

Just my observations.
 
Marsh Raching, Usa4x4, Chucks trucks, anda few other companies make them, its been so long since i've researched it i cant remember the smaller companies that do it.
 
Makes sense. The thought that prompted this question is the fact that I have seen countless 'mogs recently, as I have been in europe for about two weeks now. They're all over the place, typically serving as snow plow or logging duty. The 1% is more than correct, because I've seen countless ones here, not like the US.
