Dan, are you sure you have your numbers correct?

I can find a 160231 but not a 160201.

Dan,

Here's a link to the Alcoa Wheel Fitment guide published in 2001.

http://www.southwestwheel.com/pictures5/LTFitment-Screen_10-18-01.pdf

No 160201 listed, however, 160301 is listed.

Here's a link to the Alcoa Wheels Product Search page:

http://www.alcoa.com/alcoawheels/north_america/en/wheels.asp?pnerr=true

I used the search feature for both numbers listed below and got nada.

I have "heard" that Alcoa has stopped making these wheels.

Regards,
Rob M.

Looks like the 160301 is a 16x6 inch wheel but it is heavier, has 10 lugs and a much larger pilot hole.

It looks like it was part of the same recall as the ones for our coaches.

I don't know the numbers but I thought there were 2 numbers depending on if you were putting on front or outer dually in back. Had to do only with which side had polished finish. We would of course want the "fronts" all the way around. I searched www.southwestwheel.com where I got my Classics off the 'GMC wheel deal' and don't see them. Might be gone or have to call to see if any are still around old stock.
