New 16x8 OEM alloys $182

[John E Davies]

Anyone seen this page before? Cruiserdan tells me the gray painted wheels (second pic down) must be "gray market", since they weren't offered in the USA.

Any comments on the company? Reputable?

you'd have to make sure they're OEM and new.
The black steel for $80 sounds good though if OEM. Too back they only come for the RHS though

That is a very reasonable price, especialy if they are new. I think the "grey" reference indicates the color of the "windows" in the wheel. IE the 40th and Collector wheel, as opposed to the over-all finish of the wheel.

Do remember that you may need lug nuts. It appears that these are the later (95-up) wheels that would need the later lug nuts in order to fit them to a 93-94.

Notice the years are 93 - 98 :dumbdumbdumbseller:

So the gray wheels are clear-coated polished aluminum with painted windows? I was hoping they are all gray. I am tired of clearcoated wheels.... Seems like nobody makes a painted alloy truck wheel in the aftermarket.

Dan are you sure or is this an educated guess?

Thanks.

Not much difference between the two.

Directional wheels?? Do they only work with directional tires??

I have talked to them...the grey painted wheels are the 40th Anniversary wheels with painted inserts. For what its worth, I have a source for standard reconditioned OEM wheels for $140.00 if you buy two at a time. PM me.
