Any new news on Alcoa 19.5?

[TurboWolf]

Does anyone have an update on when the 19. 5 inch Alcoa Wheels will be available?





Thanks

About three months ago when I called them they said November. I guess it's time to pester them some more.

I just got of the phone with Alcoa and the gal I spoke with said nothing showed up on her sheets for 19. 5 production on pickups this year. I asked what I had to do to start a petition to get these thins produced and she said "send us an email". Not a formal way to do it but I would think if we all send emails we may have a chance.



Here is the Contact form.



I would prefer a email address but this is a start. Lets all tell 'em what we think!

Waste of time, I have called them a number of times, they were saying they would be ready this spring then this summer ... ... I'm sure if they thought the wheels would be a big seller they would be making them already. Maybe they will never make them. Chances are they will be the wrong offset anyway as they will be making the same wheel for the GM, Ford and Dodge, while the GM and Dodge have the same bolt pattern the Ford and the GM have the same offset, alot easier for them to make a different bolt circle than a different offset. GM and Ford are the lion's share, Dodge is a such a minority in the truck market.
