Hot shots. Don't know the number but someone will. I personally favor the LTS five-spoke.

Dave,

Mike's REALLY going to need good luck as he'll probably want to win the
Lottery before he buys these wheels!

Southwest Wheels is selling them for $1,172.95 EACH!

That's $7,037.70 for a set of six!

Rob,
You were not totally asleep, that add was for a set of 4 truck wheels so not
really relevant.
Requirement for the GMC is
6x 163251 rims
48x 139987 nuts
48x 000190 nut covers
6x 003611 hub covers.

Did I read somewhere that hot shots are discontinued?

Peter,

I read that the Hot Shots were no more but I think Jim K noted he could
still get them.

That was a while ago so I don't know if that is still correct.

I thought it was the LTS that was discontinued. It was slightly under load rated for our TZE anyway---probably the large void area and sharp corners.

At the end of year 2008 Southwest Wheel Co. were doing a set of Alcoa
classic rims complete with lug nuts, caps and nut caps for our GMC for
$1499.95 I wonder what there price is now, I don't think you could do better
than supporting Jim Kanomata at Applied GMC and purchase a set of eagles
designed for our coaches.
