When I first got my coach, I searched for 7 good radial rated steel 16"
wheels that had the correct offset for the GMC. Out of 25 or so wheels that
i found, i managed to sort out 7 that were straight, rust free, and turned
true on a balancer machine. After investing in media blasting, and powder
coating, replacing the valve stems, and finding trim rings and lug nuts,
hub covers, then making spacers for the front end to clear the brake
calipers, I think that I might have saved $50.00 total over Eagles or
Alcoas.
The Alloy wheels are precision machined and true. When you have a
premium set of tires mounted and properly balanced on them, the dishes in
your cupboards no longer rattle down the road.
But, the money you spend is yours. Spend it wisely, grasshopper.
