Thanks for the compliments. The rear center necks are too long. I'll be getting some shorter ones real soon. The ones that are on there are for regular wheels.

Sick82, I just sent you a PM.

So am I understanding you right...? If I measure my two rear wheels, your aluminum outside wheel would be 3/4" wider than my outside 16" wheel...?

Let me explain another way. Aluminum wheels are thicker than steel wheels on every face and edge. What concerns us is wheel stickout near the dually fender. 2 steel dually wheels fit closer to the truck's hub face or mounting surface because the wheels are thinner. If the inside wheel is steel and the outside wheel is aluminum than the centerline of the wheel/tire combo sticks out just a little further. If both wheels are aluminum, then the stick out is just a little more than that. Remember, the Gulf Coast Speed (GCS) wheel is run on the outside. If you run a 16" steel inner and a GCS outer you will save a little bit of stick out because your 16" steel inner has a thinner mounting surface than a regular aluminum wheel inner stacked with GCS outer.

The offset of the GCS outer is the key. It looks more like a regular car wheel. The mounting surface of the wheel does not stick out like a dually wheel.

Here are some measurements that may help:

Overall width for 2 regular Alcoas is 23 3/8".

Overall width for 1 regular Alcoa and one GCS is 20 7/8".

That is a savings of 2 1/2" on the outside. With this combination the outside tire is now closer to the inside tire. The gap between my rear wheel/tire combo is only 3/8". With 2 regular Alcoas,the gap is 3".

Call me tomorow @ 713-416-8601. I'll be glad to answer your questions in more detail.

2 polished steer wheels, 2 Gulf Coast Speed polished outside rears, 4 265/35/22 Falkens, and adapters w/ lugs will be $3706.00 plus shipping.



You said shipping would be around 400.00...? So for 4000.00 I can get them shipped to my door? What kind of turn around time are we talking? I might have to go talk to the bank this afternoon.

Other question I have is ...when you machine and sell these wheels, are you using new Alcoas or are they used wheels? Sorry for all the questions.... my truck is in the shop now being bagged and I am seriously thinking about getting a small loan to get a set of wheels and to help build my credit more......of course

Lilj, I don't know if these are the same wheels as Lock. I just know exactly what we offer and the measurements.

Another thing, we prefer not to surface or machine down the mounting surface/hub of the wheels.

Okcderek, actually that price is $150.00 low, but I will stick it to it. I don't know where I figured wrong. Also, if the shipping is less, the savings is all yours. It should take an absolute max of 4 weeks to you. Maybe less, but not more. I'll double-check prices and timeline at order time. All wheels are brand new. Tires are new also, not blems or seconds. Also, don't sweat asking questions. You need to know exaclty what you are getting and how long it will take. That's why I will double-check everything before any money changes hands.

We also offer a forged adapter which is of better quality than the cast adapter. It costs $500 to $600 more , but it is much stronger, made better, and plated so it won't rust like the cast adapters.

So for 4000.00 what all do you get...? Does that not include the adaptors? I thought it did.

Okcderek, 2 new polished fronts, 2 new GCS polished rears, 4 new Falken Ziex S/T Z04 in 265/35/22 mounted, and regular adapters with lug nuts will cost you $3706.80 plus approximately $400.00 shipping. I made a math mistake because it should be $3856.80 plus shipping. That's OK though, I'll eat the $150.00. These prices do not include front or rear center caps or lug covers.
