2005 twins, wheels

Hello,

Just bought this as a donor truck. I just want the engine and front bumper, but was wondering if these were chrome steel wheels or aluminum wheels.

And this is my current truck:

I know these are steel wheels. However, the donor trucks wheels look much better. This is my current running truck the day I bought it back in June.

Jim

You can do a magnet test to see if it's steel.
I bought me an aluminum set on Craigslist a few years ago, and found almost new tires when I needed them. Check this link on CL for a set a little south of you...

Okay thank you. I thought they were. The truck is scheduled to arrive today from San Jose so I can get a better look at it then but was hoping they were aluminum. I still think I will swap them unless the tires are not as good as the other ones.
