Looks like Alcoa Hotstar to me. I don't believe that they are stil made for the GMC, but I could be wrong.

Yes, Alcoa LTS.

I love the look, but they stopped making them.

Eagle made a similar designed wheel (SERIES 034) but they also stopped making them. The later ones (most of them) have casting marks on the face, just like most Eagle dually wheels. The early ones had smooth faces.

I'd really like to find a set of the early Eagle SERIES 034 wheels.

With the exception being the wheels that JimK had made, almost all Eagle wheels are lug centered. With a little care during installation, these "work" and you can put the cap BEHIND the wheel. (I do NOT like the "tin" Eagle cap covering the center of the face of the wheel.)

Here are some pics of what I am talking about:

Here are Eagle SERIES 034 with Eagle style center cap mounted on the face. (These caps are actually pretty nice but often the edges get bent up.):

Here are my hub centered eagles from JimK, I understand Jim has a new run of wheels with smooth faces:

Here is an example of an early Eagle wheel with a smooth face and the cap behind the wheel. (I do not know the series number but I have ten of these in varying condition.):

Thanks, guys.

>Jim had a new run with smooth faces

Here's what he shipped to JimB for my coaches. Hub and lug centered as I understand it.

The New American Eagles we have made for us with hub centered are now
without the ugly casting mark on the front.
They also come with the SS valve stem that makes the stem location at the
opening.
You can gt them from Jim B or us.

The GMCII has LTS wheels like the one pictured. Love the look, but in the process of trying to buy a spare (thanks Nelson) i discovered the mfg date of mine is 1294. Looks like a new set of Classics this spring on a 13 yr old recall. OBTW, the folks at Alcoa were great, took the info and put in the order.
