accuride wheels

Post by 77Eagle05 »

I just got a good deal on six accuride alum wheels. Of course they need to be polished but are in great shape, all six less than the cost of one new one.Where can I find if they make them center caps / polished nuts, etc. Ain't had no luck surfing including accuride website. Thanks ED

I gave $500 for 6 wheels/ including all standard lug nuts and the studs for the drive axle if I need them.
I am going to use two steel wheels on the inner drive position.The wheels I feel were a great deal a little labor to polish. The expense will be the new tires, not going to use the old,90% thread left but 10 -11 years old. Just replaced front for that reason (cracked).
Been a lot of discussion on tires , I am going to use Kumhos. Had them on my 06, Dad had them on his MCI, and I have them on two of my regular cars.
Thanks Ed
