I am getting ready to buy some aftermarket 17" wheels for my dually, I was just wondering if anyone else is running aftermarket aluminum wheels and if so what kind are they and how do you like them? If you have any pics of yours that would be GREAT!!!!!

 

X2^^^^

 

Rockstars here. LOVE them! More pics in my gallery.

 

As above

 

Thanks, they both look good! Is anyone else running any aftermarket wheels?

 

Hey, does anyone else have any aftermaket aluminum 17" wheels on a dually? Any info and pics would be great!

 

other things to take into account...

how much weight rating of the rim..
ive seen some as low as 2600pds..
which isnt good for us dually guys that haul heavy 5th wheel/gooseneck trailers.

 

Alcoa has came out with a set also.

 

The Alcoas are different wheels for front and rear. And since the wheel is thicker you use the steel inners on the rear as the studs are not long enough. The only rotation you could do would be side to side on the same axle. I am still real tempted though. The Alcoas are still made in the USA and around $1,100...seems like a decent price to me.

I have been looking at the Eagle 097/098 wheels and they are rated at 3000lbs and that is what the alcoas are rated too.

 

You can still rotate them. They have to be unmounted though. Like when you have white letters turned inside and don't want to see them. They didn't have any blackwalls when I got my tires but they did sell me a lifetime rotate and balance. I laugh everytime I take it in.

 

Yep I left out the unmount part...or is that dismount?

I do have lifetime balance and when I bought them they did say they would unmount like every other time to keep the white letters on the inside.

 

Oops,,, classic, yes dismount... I just banged away on the keyboard and didn't proof read it.....LOL

 

I just wish the centercaps were metal and not plastic, other than that I like them.
