Looking for a set of factory alcoa wheels that are for 1/2 studs and havent been drilled. I'm in the phx area but am in so cal for work and can grab at that time. Message me through here if you run into four in good shape that I can bring back to life. If they have caps that is a plus.

All the self pull yards back her have been pulling the aluminum wheels of vehicles before they hit the yard. There are pallets of wheels wrapped up ready to go to the recycler. Piss's Me off to no end. I have gotten the last couple sets off guys parting out trucks.

Maybe that is what they are doing here as well. I'll keep looking on the cl, marketplace and offer up most want a small fortune for them, dont want to seperate from tires or arent interested in selling wheels from vehicle.

I know your pain. I spent a long time trying to find a good set without spending the same amount on new wheels. I ended up driving 3 1/2 hours to go get a set that were clean and good priced. They do pop up from time to time so keep your eye out.

I just had a wheel place strip and polish mine. 40$ a wheel seemed well worth it after I tried to do one myself. When I get back home I'll post up a pic of how they turned out.

And back from the polisher, these looked pretty sad when I took them in.

If they weren't drilled I would take then.
