Good source for Wheels?

Used. Next time you go to Houston...right off i10, an exit or 2 west of the east side of the 610 loop. There's a bunch of those salvage yard places. They have good wheels for about half of what one would cost brand new.

EDIT: Looked on a map...

It's McCarty Street. I10 to the west of the east side of the 610 loop, 2nd exit west. Go south on McCarty. There's 4-5 salvage yards on that road. Some of the wheels will look brand new. I broke wheels going off-road and I've bobtailed there and bought them. You may even be able to sell your old steelers.

 

Rons rims ebay for new. Good prices. Or salvage yard. But alumimum on the outside is only for show, switch all 8 to aluminum for weight savings and tire wear. Aluminum wheels are more true than steel. If you do put a aluminum wheel next to steel, a plastic spacer and anti sieze is your friend.

 

Size? I got some take off 24.5

 

I just bought some 22.5 polished inside and out for $170 each on sale.

 

New be carful of Chinese copy's.

Get Alcoa durabrite, always shiney. It only cost a little more to go first class.

 

All Alcoas are made in Mexico now too, is my understanding?

 

Right along with your Freightliner and IHC, and all the parts for the big 3 auto makers.

They still have better quality than some Chinese

 

Just my opinion but a quality polish job always shines brighter than a dura brite.
