Marcel,

Good luck finding Alcoas at a reasonable price, or used. You might consider just going for a set of these from Jim K:

While I agree with you.... It CAN happen.

Not likely though.

I like JimK's new Eagle wheels. He had them remove the casting marks from the face of the wheel. (The "face" when used in a "front" position as we do on all our wheels.) They look much nicer than the earlier versions of the Eagle wheels.

The "old" style:

These are mine without the caps supplied.

The "new" style:

Like I said, much nicer! Good Job Jim!

I would suggest NOT using the Eagle style caps with these wheels. Why cover up nice shiny Aluminum with chromed cheap tin?
