Aluminum Dually Wheels?
Alright, in the ongoing battle to improve the look of my truck, the next step for me is probably wheels. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Aftermarket ones that look DEAD up like the stock 16's? If not a cheap way to get those, then maybe something that looks like the OBS aluminums or like a tractor trailer aluminum wheel. Any suggestions for something like that in 16" variety kinda on the cheap side? Or even where to start looking?

Alcoa makes em but cheap isn't gonna happen unless you find used ones. :c:
|
Bu you also gotta think my dad has aluminum rims on his dually but its just the outside two in the back and steel on the inside. So every time he rotates the tires he has to bring them in and have them knocked off the bead and switched. Just my 2cents.

OBS are standard 8 lug on 6.5". '99 and up are metric.:dang:
|
Have you thought about getting yours dipped in chrome? It may be a cheap option.
|
Simulators look great too, at a fraction of the cost. :c:
|
The Alcoa's are nice and what I am looking for....but not cheap enough. My dad said he could get OEM wheels at cost from ford and it's like 250 a peice....so irdk.
Also, my bradford built bed sticks over the dually wheel about 3 or 4 inches. I CANNOT STAND the way it looks like that, could I get a spacer and take care of that? Or atleast knock that down a little? |
I wouldn't recomend spacers on anything and even if you had alcoa's you would have to have your tires broke down to rotate because the inside wheels end up crappy just like the inside of the front wheels. Thats why a lot of dually guys go simulators, you can move wheels around to whatever position you want. :c:
