Hello All:
I just installed 6 Alcoa wheels PN 160231 Product Code: YC1000
9/16" Flanged Swivel Nut, Product Code: MFGM39987
1-1/16" In Flange Lug Nut Product Code: XSP03 (Covers for lug nuts)
Custom "GMC" center caps too!
I bought all of the above from Chuck Kokesh in Omaha for $1125.00
delivered, for everything above. Chuck's number is 402 592-7620.
I wrapped the Alcoa's in General Tires installed and balanced, by Sam's
for $75 per tire + a $20.00 rebate for every 2 tires bought.
General (Radial) Ameri(star) 550AS LT 225/75R16 M+S Load Range D
The thought on the General tires is that if I get 3 years out of them
I'm money ahead
I used the existing studs.
I also ordered a set of Ramco custom fit (to the GMC) heated remote
controlled mirrors for $345 delivered to my door from Chuck. These are
modern looking fully enclosed mirrors.
