Rob,

The 1602-31 rim is a "front" dually rim.  The 232 is a rear rim.  Ask them for 6 front Alcoa rims and they might have it, the number for the classics (the only one they still make) is the 1602-31.  You will also need to buy the special lug nuts (139987), the lug covers (SP03) and the center cap (1602).  I don't run the center caps, I have seem them rattle and come off, they do look nice thought.

G’day,

As I understand it the correct part number Alcoa wheels for the GMC is
160231. They also make a part number 160232 which are rear dually wheels.

Differences:

1) 160231 convex side polished - 160232 concave side polished
2) 160231 valve stem faces convex side - 160232 valve stem faces concave
side

Questions:

Does anybody know if the 160231 and 160232 are dimensionally the same?

Are the 160232 dually wheels hub centered and is the bore the same as the
160231?

You're wondering why I'm asking, well here Downunder the chances of finding
an Alcoa for a GMC is slim to none; whereas we might stumble on some dually
wheels!
