Would anyone know the Eagle part # on the hub centered Eagle wheel for the GMC? Thanks

JmK is the only source for the true hub-centered version of the Eagle Wheel. He made a very large order to get this to happen. Support your GMC specialist suppliers, or, we will have expensive chicken coops. Or, future beer cans.

I have spent thousands of $ with Jim K.
I'll thank you not to question my loyalty.

We have made the Hub centered wheels available to other shops. Part# 0581-7695-1-AA
Jim Bounds carry them as well as we work together.
Our wheels are not only factory hub centered, but come with SS lug nuts, SS center caps and special SS valve stems that make air injection and pressure checking very easy.
We also supply the Thorley headers to the others as well.
We do not try to capitalize on parts as it works well when we can team up.
Our accounting dept. informed me that we deal with over one hundred suppliers.
Cost of paperwork is considerable, compared to our air filter side that has but 15 suppliers and allow us to be more flexible.

You know folks, the reason I'm asking is because I've run across some used Eagles with a center bore of 4.6". Not a full set of 6, but a good start. Are these a correct fit?
Not everyone can afford new parts all the time.
Thanks Jim for your input.

Not questioning your loyalty, just pointing out JmK has the correct wheel and supplies them to other shops.
The correct center measurement is 4.56", so sounds like yiu may have found some correct ones.
