Not to start wheels number wars, but this Craigs List is the correct wheel for our GMC Motorhome.

$300 for the six seems to be fair. Perhaps someone could pick them up on the way to International. PM me soonest, and I might be able to transport them, but I will not pay for them up front. I already have 7 of the correct rims.

Tom,

The picture shows cone shaped. Cone shaped is NOT the correct wheel for the GMC. Won't clear the front calipers.

Tom, one of the giveaways that it is the wrong wheel is the little 9 th hole. I believe the correct wheels do not have this hole.

I wonder if that "little" hole is to compensate for the added weight of the valve stem!

I got mine for $15 each at the local pic a part yard so that seams way high to me.
