I've had Alcoa's on another brand crewcab since 1988. They still look nice and work fine. I pulled a 16,000 fiver for over 7 years and now a 10,000 pound fiver for last 2 years. No problems yet in all kinds of weather. IMHO and . 02 worth.

Alcoa's are expensive, but you get what you pay for. They are stronger than the factory wheels, so that is not a problem. They also will look good years down the road. The cheaper aluminum rims easily become pitted and "rusty looking". Especially if you drive in the northern states that salt their roads in the winter.

P. S. The majority of semi's on the road use Alcoa's for a reason. IMHO
