I am thinking of possibly going for a different look using powder-coated steel wheels. Plus 16 inch steel wheels are good for spares... especially when reversed and the insides used for storage. So I do searches from time to time. During my last search for 16 inch rims, I found a ads of interest. They just are a little far for me to check out. Plus shipping would eat into any savings. (I normally I look closer to home.)
4 Alcoas and two steel wheels:

A bit more than I would pay for 4 used Alcoas but if they are within the recall... they would be a good deal. Plus the two steel wheels might be of interest. IF they have the correct shape and pilot hole. (Not far from Jim K.)
A single wheel in Canada. (Unknown if it will fit.)

This might be of interest if someone has 16.5 wheels that they need to get rid of: (Selling for anything is cheaper for you than taking them to the dump.)

I stopped my search after I got half across the country.

I just bought six 16" wheels for my GMC. They were dirty and had some rust. I took them in and had them blasted. I told the lad that I was thinking of powder coating them. He said it is not a good idea, if you get a stone chip, water will get under the powder coat and create rust. Powder coating is a beech to get off. I'm primering and painting mine.
