Good morning Guys,
I have struck out looking for a reasonable price on Alcoa Dura Brights.

Anyone have a source for Alcoa's ??

Does anyone know what the actual weight of the 22.5 Alcoa is? How about the weight of OE steel wheel? Everything I read says they weigh less, but how much less?

"If you're talking about standard "dualable" wheels, which are 22.5 x 8.25" wide, savings is about 30#/wheel, though there are some lighter weight steel wheels and the difference would be less."

This is a quote from Matthew Brest Technical Manager Alcoa Wheels

By the way, Aluminum inner wheels will reduce brake heat better too. In case anyone should have that problem with Workhorse.
