Dualies and Slide-in campers

I'm looking to purchase some Alcoa 16x7 rims (Classics). Main reason is to reduce weight. With the camper loaded and on the truck (wife and I also) I'm about 300 lbs overweight. Looks like I can save about 15 lbs per wheel. Thats 75 lbs with the spare. Problem is when I look at Alcoa's fitment guide for my truck it says in parentheses "Remove applications with V10 or Diesel engine". I don't understand this. The wheels are rated at 3415 lbs. This is 373 more lbs than my tires are rated. Appears to be plenty stout. Any ideas what this could mean? I've heard of others having trouble with other brands cracking. Anyone heard of an Alcoa with similar problems???



Thanks for any Info

Alcoa had trouble with cracked wheels a few years back

but,changed the design of the wheel to correct the problem.

The rating was also increased to something like 3715#.

I'm not sure of the exact rating. If you go to

www.southwestwheel.com you can get the info. It is also

hard to beat their price on Alcoas.
