Eagle Alloy

Hi folks. Im a newbie to the dodge diesel world and am wondering if anyone has seen or heard of anybody running the Eagle Alloy series 1372 wheels? That is a really sharp wheel and I think it will look good with some beefy 285's or 305's. Dont want to go any bigger because I like the rake and dont want to level or lift. Thanks for the help. WAGS

Was wondering why there were no replys and then I saw that I didnt ask my question! Does anyone know if these wheels will last? I have heard from some people in my area that their Eagles started to wallow out at the lug holes after about 10K miles. I guess what Im asking for is if Eagle is a good brand to consider for aftermarket wheels? Sorry I was unclear on my first post WAGS

I dont know about the reliability of those wheels, but they do look sharp.

I'd spend a little more money and go with a Centerline or Weld wheel. The Quality is alot better. The Eagles seems to pit and be difficult to clean/polish.

This aint answering your questions but if you put larger tires on the front and the same size tires on the rear, it will lift both sides even and you will still have your rake.

I have ran eagles with no problem on other things. They are not an ultra high end wheel but they basically copy the popular styles and offer them at a reduced price. so if money is an object run them.

I ran the series 102 stone crusher look a likes on the 87 blazer I had before this truck without too much trouble. these chrome plated welds i have now clean up nicer but chrome cleans easier than aluminum. One this truck I spent so **** much money on the truck i just coninued on with the wheels and all that. on my blazer there is no point in having $450 a piece wheels on a $5000 vehicle.
