Looking for a cheap alternative to new Eagles or Alcoas. Found these steel dually rims on Ebay.

1.) The wheels in the ad will not work on a STOCK coach. The stock GMC needs a "domed" wheel to clear the brakes.

If you have spacers or rear disks you MIGHT be able to use the "cone" shaped wheels in the ad. Always check your wheels (including your spare) in each wheel position. Sitting on the side of the road isn't the time to find out your wheel doesn't fit. Rolling Eyes

2.) I do not think much of the price (with shipping) for used wheels. Steel wheels are heavy. Basically, if you have to pay for shipping, it isn't worth buying used steel wheels. Besides, used wheels will need to be treated and painted. (Media blast, powder coat/paint.) Also with used steel wheels you need to be concerned with how true (how round and straight) the wheels are. (Note that some vehicles are harder on wheels than others.)

I was able to find the correct 16 inch steel wheels locally for $25 each (used). If you still want check Craigslist or junkyards in your area.
