I'd like to find an alternative for wheels on my 68 C30. It's still got it's original 1/2" wheel studs and 16" Budd wheels on it.

Are there any aluminum wheels that are a direct fit?? What about simulators. Is anybody running those and what did you get and where?

Another stupid question. When you guys put a set of aluminum wheels on a dually, do you generally buy 6 or just 4??

What I meant is, do you buy four and just use steelies for the inside rears.

just the outside 4 wheels are aluminum

Hey Down South, are those Alcoa classics?? What did it take for you to put those on your truck? Did you have to change out the wheel studs, etc.? Are those 16x6?

yeah there alcoa's bought em back about 1998 or so off a friend's 96 1 ton 4x4 I'm pretty sure they bolted right on but the truck already had a set of newer 1 piece wheels so a p/o may have changed them already
