Re: Stupid wheel question

How long ago did you get them out of Alamogordo? That might be worth a half a day to me to find some.
Thanks.

People out here just don't want to get up off them and would rather you by their fancy dancy rims as I call them. I went on detatchment to Alamagordo New Mexico and the junk yard in the middle of town has lots of them and set me up with a set for 100 buck. I had them brought back in a huge tri wall with the pack out, so now I have a set. Since then I have found two more out in the desert here. When I sell any of my trucks, I will not allow my 16's or my original 15 to go, so I can always have hubcaps on my trucks. Good luck on finding a pair for your truck. Just stay engaged on your search and they will become available.
