Where is a good place to buy Alcoas for my K30

I looked at Summit but they don't seem to carry them. Trying to get a price on a set. Looking at the classic style.

I don't think you can get real Alcoas for our trucks anymore....I used to get them from Southwest but they are not listed now.

Eagle makes a very similar wheel.....but it is not an Alcoa

They are often available on Craigslist used....just take them to a truck wheel shop and get them repolished

summit sells eagle alloys that look like alcoas, thats what i have on my truck, if you buy them do yourself a favor and buy the stainless centercaps though, the ones that come with the wheels rust in about three months!! i like mine though, but i chucked the cenrtercaps

Re: Where is a good place to buy Alcoas for my K30

Sport is right, Alcoa no longer makes the Classic style wheels in 16 inch for our truck. You're gonna have to find used. Now you know why I was so excited to find the set for my dually. They're getting rarer every year.

The main Alcoa dealer in the country is Southwest Wheel in Dallas. When you find your set, they will have any center caps, lugnuts, or lugnut covers you might need. Great folks, I have bought Alcoas from them a few years ago for my "Truck Norris" Dodge.





The Eagle copies of the Alcoas for your dually do look similar and are still available as easy as whipping out your credit card. They're a bit different though in that they use mag style lugnuts, and they're cast aluminum, not forged.

I didn't realize they didn't make them anymore. I had come across a couple part numbers and just thought they were still available.
