Looks like the 19. 5" wheels you are asking about will be available sometime this coming spring. The 17" wheels are in the schedule, but probably won't be available before fall 2005.

Its my understanding the offset will be all wrong for the 3rd gens

I spoke to Chuck @ Alcoa wheel last month and was told march for a 19. 5 with the correct offset for the third gen's. Unfortunately he thought they would only be available in 6. 5 width.

Scott,

Did he give you a price?

 

[RedRam401]

This sounds like they are only going to offer a wheel for the dually.

No, I specifically asked about SRW and no, he didn't give a price. He was a little short on details, even the width was a little sketchy. I plan to call them again toward the end of the month.
