It's the same color as my truck. Royal Blue Clear Coat. It was introduced in '96.

I like the white letters too, but I don't think it has to have them to look good.

I had the American Racing (same as Eagle) 589, but I hated them. You had to polish them all the time or they looked like junk. I got rid of them.
The factory wheels don't require polishing because that are not bare aluminum.

I'll have to check Old Rusty, he's a '91 & I think they were stock on him. I picked up an extra pair off a guy who scraps trucks for $50.00. I don't remember seeing any rivets, let me stick my head out the door for a minute. Okay, just looked, AAADD & CRS ( yet again ), his DO have the rivets. My mistake, sorry.

Those factory aluminum wheels (at least the 8 bolt version) are made by Alcoa. I think they came out in '94. I know up until then the aluminum wheels you could order from the factory looked just like American racing wheels. The newest truck I have seen with old style wheels was a '93,

I heard they were made by alcoa too.
That Outlaw II series 62 wheel pictured above I belive has a coating on it so it won't require polish. The 589 / Baja Alloy wheel like this is the one I was talking about that requires constant polish. They are good looking wheels, but I'll never have another set.

All your aluminum tractor-trailer/bus rims are from alcoa. As was brought to my attention in another thread is make sure the balance weights are put on the inside...I didn't catch that info till mine were mounted. I'll just get me a can of clear and hit the spots where the weights are...
