Hi,

I have 7 Alcoa Wheels. They are 15 years old, but are unused and still in the original boxes.

My father owned a 1976 GMC Eleganza. He bought 7 Alcoa wheels in 2005 with the intention of using them on the Eleganza. Unfortunately, he passed away quickly after receiving the wheels and they where never put on. My sister took the RV on a road trip across country. She stored it for one year in New York and then sold it. The Alcoa wheels did not make the trip and were left in my Grandmother's garage in San Diego for safe keeping. My cousin bought my grandmother's house about two years ago. She has been pretty patient with storing these wheels in her garage, but it was time to get them out of there. I picked up the wheels today and am looking to sell them. The sticker on the wheels says, "Alcoa Forged Aluminum 16 X 6J Wheel. Front P/N 160231 Rear P/N 160232." I don't know why it lists two part numbers on the same wheel.

I'd prefer to sell them to someone locally, but I'm guessing that might not happen, so I'm happy to ship if necessary. I don't really have a firm price in mind. The link below has a few pictures. I am happy to send more or take a picture of something specific if that helps.

Thanks,
Ryan

Probably the best way to ship those would be Greyhound, they are very reasonable, and then you can take offers from nationwide. Check it out.

I'm interested, unfortunately I just bought 6 new 16.5" tires for my coach so I'm fairly well vested in that size. Good luck

Did you look in the rear box ? They may be polished on the wrong side? If so they would be good for someone with a dually pickup or a mini Motorhome.

Thanks for letting me know. I would never have thought of shipping through Greyhound. I did a quote through the site, and cross country shipping was extremely reasonable.

I just took a look. The front side definitely seemed to be more polished than the back.

Ryan,
Are you going to be in San Diego late July or early August?
If I remember correctly there was a recall on some Alcoa rims, but that might be before yours were made.

Hi Scott,

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. Yes, I'll be around all of July and beginning of August.

Thanks,

Ryan,
Sent you a PM on your Alcoa Wheels. I am in Ventura so no shipping would be required.
Thanks,
