You know we have been sponsoring this site for many years and I just figured out there is a sponsor section. I always hang out in the towing section.

If anyone has any questions let me know and I will do my best

I purchased some dually Alcoa wheels from SW Wheel back in 2000. I highly recommend SW Wheel to anyone.

is thier any way your company could make some nice 19.5 rims for 2500 that match factory specs

southwestwheel · 08-01-2011, 10:16 AM

Unfortunately, no OEM ever made this wheel which limits what is available in the aftermarket.

I am interested in #MT176401-1. The 17x6.5 eight hole Classic Dual Alcoa Aluminum Wheel kit. However, it says it only comes with 4 wheels. Do you also make, sell an inner 6.5''? So that all the tires would be the same size. I would like to be running 35x12.5x17 Toyo MT's, Nitto Trail's or the new Cooper's.

This wheel set is for a dual wheel truck. You will use your inner steel wheels to complete the set. The size of tire you have selected is not recommended for dual wheel applications. This size tire will cause rubbing between the tires do to factory offsets of the wheel.

do you guys make your own rims? any reason you couldnt make a set of 20" dually wheels instead of 19.5?

southwestwheel · 08-08-2011, 11:59 AM

We do not make wheels, we are just a distributor. The main reason you do not see a 20" wheel is weight carry capacity. They will not make a wheel that can not carry the load.

Thank you for the response. I had planned on buying adaptors as well, just didn't state it up there. So lets say for example I went with a smaller tire that would be recommended for the 6.5 inch wheel. In your opinion, how would that work with your Alcoa's @ 6.5 and my steel inners @ 6 inches?

It really depends on what year model your truck is. We can sell adapters for pre 2003 Dodge trucks, but the adapters convert the bolt circle to a Ford pattern. The year model of Ford pattern does not have a 17" dual wheel that will accomdate it.

The width of the wheel is not the biggest concern of a dual wheel, but the offset is. The offset, which is usually 5.35" will only allow certain tire sizes without rubbing.
