Still learning the ropes with our 77 Kingsley. We decided to replace the 16.5 steel wheels since we need new tires anyway and 16.5 tires are becoming harder to find. So, we just purchased 7 American Eagle aluminum wheels along with stainless steel valve stems, center caps, lugnuts and washers.
Then we stumble on the problem between SS and aluminum and galvanic corrosion. There are a lot of you out there with Alcoas and American Eagle aluminum wheels and SS hardward. Is there something we need to know and do to prevent this corrosion or is this not a problem?
Learning as we go and appreciate all your help.
Also in the market for 16 inch tires.
