Good morning guys,
I recently purchasd two Alcoa Dura Brights for the front of my coach.
I'm going to have them installed on Monday.
my question is this,
Is the wheel nut torque the same for the new Alcoas as the steel wheels (475 ftlbs) ??

Oh yeah !!
I have a monster torque wrench !!
Should do the job !!
One more thing, my understanding from the dealer I purchased the wheels from is that I can use the original wheel nuts...
Does anyone know if that is true or not ?
