News from our friend at Southwest Wheel

=====================================
Southwest Wheel Company
8740 John W. Carpenter Frwy.
Dallas, Tx 75247

Subject: New Style is coming / 160232

To Whom It May Concern:

First, their is a new style of Alcoa Wheel being released this year, the
Hot Shot. This will be the third style of Alcoa Wheel available to you
(Classic and LTS). The Hot Shot dually has sleek elliptical curves, it is
a beautiful wheel. The new part number is a 161251, I will update you on
price and availability soon. If you would like some literature about the
Hot Shot and other Alcoa Wheels please call or email with an address.

Second, the 160231 Classic Wheel is a popular wheel with most GMC Motorhome
owners. Every time this wheel is sold a rear wheel is also brought into
stock. We have in stock over 150, rear dual wheels. The only thing
different about this wheel is that it is polished on the inside of the
dual, instead of the outside (160231). If you placed this wheel on your
motorhome it would look like a machine finished wheel (not
polished). Again these wheels are in stock, no waiting for the 160231.

Part No. 160232 - $117.50 each

Center Cap - 003611 - $10.06 each
Lug Nuts - 139987 - $2.93 each
Lug Covers - 000190 - $1.87 each

Alcoa Accessories Kit for 6 wheels - $210.00
Kit includes (6) Alcoa center caps, (48) lug nuts, (48) lug covers.

F.O.B. Dallas, Texas

==============================================

We met up with Alcoa this weekend at the National Wheel and Rim Association
meeting and found out the logistics of the new hot shot wheel.

Wheel Style - Hot Shot
Application - GM
Size - 16 x 6
Valve - TR-453
Hub Bore Inches - 4.567
Max Inflation PSI - cold - 95
Pilot Type - Hub
Bolt Circle - 8 on 6.5"
Max. Wheel Load in lbs. - 2780 (same as 160231)

By the way Alcoa also passed along that soon all wheels will become more
available. We expect a shipment of 160231's within two weeks. Their is a
chance that we may also have a few sets of 161251's, let me stress a chance.
