I was on my way to order a set of 7 Alcoa 160231 from Southwest wheels ( $225Ish each ) but they where gone from their web site so I asked and got this replay
All we have left is 160232 rear polished wheels. Alcoa has decided to no longer make this wheel.
So what to do now ?
1973 23' # 1848 Sky Blue Glacier called Baby Blue and a 1973 26'-3 # 1460 Parrot green Seqouia Known as the Big Green,
And sold my 1973 26'-2 # 581 White Canyon lands under the name Dobbelt trøbbel
in Norway

We have some Alcoa left and have the Hub centered Eagles that are custom
made for us.
Go to our web site.

Didn't we go through this before. They were gone then back. Must be bean counters. Why make a duelly rear but not front. I guess you could run the dull side out.

At one point they made the bare aluminum and a coated version with some fancy trade name. I figured it would eventually degrade, whereas dingy oxidized Alcoas can be brought back with a good metal polish.

There is no need for centering rings. The listing says that they use conical nuts which means they center off of the studs and not the center of the wheel. I did not check the center hole size.
