Keep Cracking Alcoa aluminum rims.

look for some made overseas. There's less meth, cocaine, heroin use overseas so workers tend to be more focused. Made in the USA is the new made in China.

 

8 axle 160k is that in michigan?

 

Accuride also moved out of Canada, to Mexico as well I thinks. Friend of mine spent 25 years at Accuride until they closed the doors a few years back.
I have aluminum steer rims, everything else is steel. Never had aluminum rims on multi axle wagons or trains although they do look good.

 

TRP wheels through Pacar. Made by Acuride in the USA. Way Less than $200 each on sale. You can find them for $170 if you dig and beg enough?

 

I was at loves in Menomonie, Wisconsin yesterday and they had a whole trailer full of aluminum junk wheels. Hmm?

 

Convert that to Canuck Bucks and that's about what I paid for the KIC's.
