Midnight Auto Supply is the only place where "cheap" would come to mind. ):h

I have never seen the words cheap, aluminum, and dually used in the same sentence before, but I hope you get some good replies. I haven't even seen any that I would even call reasonably priced, but I have been seeing a lot more magazine ads (Fourwheeler) by different companies, so hopefully it is only a matter of time.

The least expensive wheels(I like to refrain from saying "cheap") I have seen were Eagle. However I personally thought they were marginal in appearance. They were about $140 each. Of course do not forget the caps and the lug nuts...that will add another $20 per wheel. That is 16" dia variety. Anything above 16" is pricey.

There just is not a huge market for Dually wheels. We are are a breed apart from the general public.

ALCOA makes a quality wheel at a decent price, try "Southwest Wheel".

I have them, Alcoa Magnum's. Nice wheel, Southwest has great prices. I used their price and went to my local shop that guaranteed price matching, they did no questions asked. This way I got them local and avoided shipping costs, and since I bought tires at same time, they threw in mount and balance.

Anyone running brentzwheels? Likes, dislikes? They look great, and I like not having to run adaptors. Any idea how much they are?

You can only run aluminum on the outside rims (4) that is bacause the wheel studs are not long enough. The hub of the rims on Aluminum rims are too thick to provide adequate clamping force.What size are you looking for 19.5",22.5?

19.5

IIFC the Eagles that I put on my gasser dually had an air pressure limit that was considerably lower than the max tire pressure. I think it was around 55 60 lbs. I always ran 70 and had no problem though.

Thanks for the info. the aaatires.com has reasonable prices, 700 a set is not too bad. that was kinda my limit. dont want anything too fancy, just gotta get rid of the steel rims, they're kinda boring.

rollofhill, Brentz is down in dallas, have seen the wheels in perosn and the finish is great. 17" 19" 19.5" 22" and a 24" upon special request. You can run 6 alum or do like most do and run 4 outer alum and inner steels. There are 4 lines available(even though website shows only 3) legend series, classics, premier, signature. for the best bang for buck would be the legend series these are cut in a larger run than the others. If you need some pricing, or would like to see some just pm me. Lots of dealers in TX with his wheels avail.
