New Alcoas and Coopers

I broke down and bought a set of Alcoa LTS wheels for my truck.
I have been looking at them for at least a couple of years and I finally decided it was time to buy them before I cant get them anymore.
I also bought a set of 265/75-16 E Cooper Discoverer ST tires so my truck is feeling really loved right now.

Good looking wheels. Where did you get them and what did you have to give for them (if you don't mind saying).

Thanks for the positive comments on the truck.
Now if I could figure out what the part number is for the front center caps I will be set.

I ordered them online from Southwest Wheel. They are only available as a complete package that includes (4) wheels, (4) center caps and 32 lug nuts, but the lug nuts are the wrong size for our trucks, so I had to order the 1/2" beasties. The P/N for the wheel package is MT167031-1 and the price was $925.95 and the P/N for the lug nuts was AA005120 at $1.95 apiece.
The total with shipping was $1046.72.

If you are running 235/85s now and you don't have any clearance issues I do not see why they would not work on a 2WD rig.

Nice Choice. Alcoas are the only justifiable replacement 16" wheel over stock IMHO....

Not a bad price either.. Southwest wheel is a good reputable company.
