Curb appeal for a house, or GMC is everything for a good sale. For the amount of extra cost of some American Eagles from Jim K at Applied. The appeal will increase the value of the coach more then that extra cost over steel rims. TO ME. Steel rims on a GMC that's for sale. Makes me think that, what other things haven't been kept up. That's why I put new tires/Eagles on the 73 that I'm building to sell. Just a thought. Bob Dunahugh

Bob,
I agree 100% with what you're saying, however, a set of 6 non hub centered American Eagles is $1,350 ($225 ea) or $1575 for 7.
http://www.appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/1872
A new 16" steel wheel is $74.50 from Southwest Wheel or $521.50 for 7. For someone on a budget that's a $1000 that can be put
elsewhere.

Hey, I just discovered if you buy 7 you get a 10% discount and you wind up at $472.19. For the hell of it I set them up to ship to a
friend in Oregon and it was $125 UPS Ground.

If you paint those steel wheels in a complimentary color and add chrome
acorn nuts and a trim ring they can look just as good as alloys with far
less upkeep as well.

Sully,
Are you using that new "chrome-look" paint? I saw a pickup painted with it
the other day -- thought at first that it HAD been chromed.

If you have no plans of selling you GMC. Have a limited budget. I agree about spending that extra money for the Eagles elsewhere. Make you travels more enjoyable with things you want. As you'll never see your rims while on the road. Mike's SELLING. That's a totally different situation. When selling. Take that GMC to a detail shop. Detail it inside, and out. Make it look like it's wourth buying. Or. Sale it cheep. And don't complain that you didn't get what you hoped to get. Plus it took along time. I can't believe the number of GMC's that I've looked at for people to buy. And they're just filthy inside, and out. This GMC that I'm fixing up now. And selling. It WILL look good, and run great. I WILL NOT have concerns about them getting it home. Bob Dunahugh

The only "chrome look" spray I have seen is actually a silvering, mirror type finish. It is soft and when damaged can't be touched up. You would have
to strip the piece and re-silver it. I researched it for some other projects I had and decided it it was too fragile for anything besides decorative
interior pieces that don't get used.

Now, powder coating has come a long way with shiny finishes.

Wow,
That has changed....
When I was going to buy a full set, they were 90+ each and shipping was not cheap.
I ordered 7 and they shipped one and it had the wrong bore. It went back.
So, I worked a year to collect "good" used and have them powder coated and ended up at 65$/ea after a lot of frogging around.

Aluminum rims will help selling. I doubt you will get extra money for them. I know of a couple coaches for $1500 that had alcoas on. That still
did not sell because they needed $5-10k in parts
To make the coach worth $5-8k.
