if you buy aftermarket wheels where there a 4 out side and 2 inside how are they rotated

Unless you want to break the tires and rims down each time to rotate..... you don't


And there's nothing wrong with that

You do not rotate unless you really want to break them off and swap them around. Honestly expect to buy fronts 2 x the rears.

Is this because you are only buying 4 aftermarket wheels for the outside and using 2 stock wheels on the inside dual?

On Edit: Doh! I get it now, the backside of the aftermarket wheels are not finished......glad my DMAX ain't as slow as me...:lol:

For the ride aspects and longevity, it is worth breaking the beads and doing the rotation. IMHO....

if you buy Eagle wheels (and some other brands as well), watch the installers like a HAWK. Eagle wheels are set up that the center cap goes on AFTER the wheel (on the outside) and are held down by the lug nuts and washers.

"Johnny Lugnuts" will invariably try to stick the cap through the hole in the wheel from the back side. This will cause failure of the wheel studs. Twice now, I have had a tire shop do it the wrong way. The worst part what the smug little bastard saying "mister, I know how center caps go on wheels"

I wanted to give him a noogie. :eek:

:exactly: :lol:

Also - the cost of breaking down & switching tires & wheels each time you rotate costs more than just leaving them alone & buying new ones when they wear out.

So...what are some inexpensive aftermarket wheels out there????

The Alcoa Hot Shots that I bought weren't too bad price wise.

Cost me $1,000 total for the 4 rim's and the center caps, lug nuts, and nut cover's.

Don't forget to add the cpas and covers into the price of rims when your shopping ass some can get expensive.

Is there any weight advantage of the aftermarket aluminum wheels vs. the stock steel ones? I.E. is it worth the money over simulators?

I noticed some people running 235's, is that because 245's won't fit with stock suspension?

The weight advantage is certainly not worth the cost of the wheels, but the bling factor is priceless! Stupid GM, you would think if they were going to put those cheap looking rims on our EXPENSIVE trucks that they would have a huge selection of bling wheels for us to upgrade to sitting on the showroom floor. They went chep and they don't go for the upsale. Go figure why they are having money problems... J/K. Oh, and I love my truck!
