    I have super singles on my truck now. I want to switch to conventional duals. Anyone have recommendations on where to find quality used wheels? I have browsed CL, so i already know that resource exists...lol

    Thanks in advance for the replies!

    I personally wouldn't touch LKQ after reading about a recent transmission job they did.
    There are plenty of other truck breakers, so there is a lot of choice.
    I just bought something from Spalding Trucks in Spokane Valley,Wa. 509 924 3300. They arranged for me to pick up the parts on a Saturday, and were nothing but professional. Price was also $170 cheaper than the nearby LKQ ripoff merchant.

    where are you located? theres plenty of truck dismantlers in TX and am sure other places but not knowing where you are or want to pick up might make it difficult to help

    Im in Houston and find a bunch of stuff on craiglist

    There is a shop up around Grand Rapids, MI that has several hundred SS wheels and tires for sale. They probably get plenty of duals as trade ins. Saw them on ebay, but they list their phone number in their auctions.
