Did you look at the list of trucks that the wheels fit the GMC?
You may have to get the distance between holes measured, but there's a good chance they will work. If so, see if you can get all the lug nuts too.
So far, good price. Shipping will kill you though.

Pete, I don't think that ebay deal is a very good deal. You can get a lot better wheel. I know my opinion does not really count, your's does. Maybe you should look for a coach that already has new wheels. I had that 2nd on my list, right under fuel injection, when we were looking for a coach.

Oops, I just had another look. Wrong again.

Buy the new ones, guaranteed good.

Pete,

One thing, MAKE SURE the wheels you buy have a "domed" center section. Some
of them have an "angled" center section that will hit the front calipers!

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=33288

If you intend to carry a spare you'll need seven not six. How's that for
demonstrating an acute grasp on the obvious!

Rob M.

1.) The wheels in the ad will not work on a STOCK coach. The stock GMC needs a "domed" wheel to clear the brakes.

<http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=32957>

If you have spacers or rear disks you MIGHT be able to use the "cone" shaped wheels in the ad. Always check your wheels (including your spare) in each wheel position. Sitting on the side of the road isn't the time to find out your wheel doesn't fit. Rolling Eyes

2.) I do not think much of the price (with shipping) for used wheels. Steel wheels are heavy. Basically, if you have to pay for shipping, it isn't worth buying used steel wheels. Besides, used wheels will need to be treated and painted. (Media blast, powder coat/paint.) Also with used steel wheels you need to be concerned with how true (how round and straight) the wheels are. (Note that some vehicles are harder on wheels than others.)

I was able to find the correct 16 inch steel wheels locally for $25 each (used). If you still want check Craigslist or junkyards in your area.
