Eagle wheels

[JSmith]

I am about to purchase a set of aluminum wheels. Are the Eagle 16x8 mod no. 0589-7888-3-AB good wheels? Do any of you run this wheel?

I have 16. 5x12 Eagle 589's and haven't had any trouble at all. Shine up great, and in my opinion, good bang for the buck!

I have them. If I did it over again, I would buy the Alcoa wheels which are forged, not cast. Alcoa's are almost the same price as Eagle, but of higher quality.



Run a search on the Alcoa's. Somebody had a source for around $110 ea.

Americas Tire Co. has a new style rim by a company called "GB". The look of this new rim is what caught my eye. They are 16x8 but the off-set pushes the foot print a little wider. The slots are so big you can clean the dust on the inside of the rim. The open-slots really show off the four wheel disk brakes on my 2001.

If you haven't purchased yet... . you should check these GB's out.

Very cutting-edge cool to see

www.southwestwheel.com has the Alcoas. The only drawback to the Alcoas is you can only get a 16x7. To get a 16x8 you need to buy Mickey Tompson wheels (made by Alcoa) and unfortunately they cost more.
