Just an FYI.

The factory wheels are FORGED aluminum wheels made by Alcoa.

Aftermarket wheels(unless made by centerline, weld or alcoa) are all CAST.

Forged wheels have a tighter grain , are stronger, clean up easier, and stay shinier LONGER than cast wheels

 

Thus the reason for me wanting the factory ones, not the Centerline ones.

 

Thus the reason Class 8, and buses use Alcoa rims. Could you imagine the results of a cast rim failing?

 

Centerlines ARE forged

 

I have always believed factory mag type wheels were far better than most aftermarket. Just have a blow out or a flat & you can see the difference. I have never had a factory mag come apart or break, bend yes.
