Dave,
I'm getting ready to get my Alcoa wheels. Which of the net sources did you
buy yours from and how much? Did you buy 6 or 7?
Thanks,
Richard Waters '76PB, Troy, MI

Richard:

Frank Folkmann (ffolkman) arranged for a group purchase of
the Alcoa wheels from a supplier in Texas. E-mail him to see if the price
(unbelievably ~ $107.00 ea??) is still good, which I believe it still is and
the details.

Bill Massey has the info on his web page. Check it at

I use 7 wheels so I can rotate the spare.

Richard, I found out about the group buy right here on gmcnet-anyway , call
Southwest Wheel 214 631 0200. I bought 7 wheels, lug nuts, hugalugs and
center covers for 6 wheel at the stated price. The people at Southwest were
easy to talk with also. Sure like mine. Dave.
