Picture request.... first gens on Alcoa classics, 16 or 17"

I'm kicking around the idea of getting a set of the Alcoa Classics for my truck. Was just wondering how they looked and how "bling bling" they are.

I have already browsed the official picture thread.....

My 2 cents on Alcoa Wheels

Alcoa's are some of the best wheels out there! I love the look of them, simplicity to clean, and just how strong they are. It's a shame that more folks don't run them on their Dodge diesel pickups instead of the "trendy" magazine wheels.

It depends what size you get, but i think the 17x8 are about five pounds lighter. Smaller ones would obviously be lighter still.

Anyone know if dually ones are available? I know Jim Lane has some on his truck, but not sure where he got 'em from. Y'all's trucks look real nice with those wheels!

Check out my gallery. I've got a set on my truck. Those Alcoas came from Arrowcraft as I got my conversion from them.

Thanks, I was wondering if yours were Alcoas, or some other kind. What size tires are you running in that pic, they look kind of big.

Good choice on wheels! (those who shared pics) I think the Alcoa classic 8's look awesome on 1st gens.
