    Can find them on sale for $170 each. Polished inside and out. Some people call them cheap Chinese wheels but so far so good. No shakes or vibrations. IMG_2508.JPG

    Where at? Is it some Mexican shop in LA?
    Ive seen some ads in paper for cheap rims/tires in LA, i guess they ship direct from China.

    No, the local kenworth dealer in Illinois. They send out sale items flyer every week. They are TRP wheels so they are available everywhere across the country. That is an authorized sale price from them available to any of there retailers across the country. I think the regular price is $215.00 each.

    So local KW might have them as well at that price? Will they fit on trailer?

    I don't know about best deals. But I would not spent a penny on Non-Alcoa aluminum wheels. Used Alcoa wheels are better than brand new aftermarket ones( Accu-ride included)..

    I noticed KW has a $20 off coupon for aluminum wheels good for 20 redemptions till the end of the month. From what I looked into them TRP brand wheels are made by Accuride. I have had good luck with what Accuride wheels I have used so far.

    I have bad luck with Accuride. Rears worked good but front ones cracked at 500k miles.

    That's a good buy. Are you running those on your tractor?
