Rob,
Unless I'm missing something, the attraction of these rims is that they DON'T
have the same offset as the original, but have an offset about 2 inches less. 
That has the same effect as adding a spacer to the front wheels.  I'm sure there
are also 2500/3500 "dually" wheels that would work and have the same offset as
standard and used ones of that type might be cheaper than Alcoa's.  One thing
that someone mentioned is that many dually wheels are conical in shape, which
will apparently interfere with the rear drum brakes.  So caution is in order if
you are looking for those.

G'day,

Anybody know if these wheels are available in the same offset as the Alcoa's
for the rear?

If they are it would be MAGIC!

Wishful thinking, eh?

Regards,
Rob M.
