Found a smokin' deal on Eagle Wheels....

I just bought a set on ebay about 2 days and thought I would pass it along.

This was about $200 cheaper than anywhere else... .

I always get my Eagle wheels from Tomzwheels.com and he is about $25 dollers cheaper than the link you listed above for the same wheels. I have found that his prices can't be beat and he also sells on ebay. As a matter of fact you can sometimes get the tires cheaper from his ebay sales than his web page.

Free Shipping w/ center caps, lug nuts & valve stems is NICE!.



Are they strong enough to hold up? Compared to a Drop-Forged Alcoa?



Not sure how important the lug nut information is but here goes,



When I bought my Alcoa Wheels they recommended using an Acorn Bulge lug like the OEM, vs. a standard Acorn. If I remember right the bulge style has 60% more clamping strength? Notice how is wider at the bottom where it contacts the wheel. I ended up buy Gorilla Acorn Bulge lugs. McGard and other top-end lug makers did not offer them for our application. Let us know your take on the above write-up.

Tomzwheels is $5 more than the direct people. Either way both are a good deal.

That's a great deal on a set of wheels! I paid about that for one Kore/Weld wheel a couple of years ago!

nice looking wheels, but not enough backspace [imho]

good price though

I'm not big on wheels that fit all the way under the truck.

I much prefer after markets that give the truck a wider stance. Better for looks in my opinion. My Mickey Thompson's I currently run have about the same amount of back space as these do.
