So I am planning on getting some 22.5" semi rims. I have a few questions for those who have them and sell them. I have the chance to get 2 brand new Alcoa 22.5" polished for $200 each. Is this a good price? Where can I buy the other two? Do I have to look for a certain width or hub? Here is a picture and a description of the wheels:

ALCOA WHEELS POLISHED 22.5 HUB PILOTED 2-@$200 EA NEW



Also what type of place should I look for to have them machined down? Do I just call machine shops in the area? Do they just put it on a lathe and take 1/4" off? Does that leave a nice edge still?
What brand adapters do you guys recomend?

Thanks for the help!

well hate to piss on your wheate's but it isn't that simpel I'll let the wheel guy's fill you in

look one of those copy cats have showed

LOL

whats so funny




hay were was the s-dime or did you take it to the portland show

Ummmm OK, that was useful...

200 each is a good price as long as there is no high ass shipping rate on them. As far as machining them like Pig Rig said its not that easy. Most machine shops won't know what you are talking about and/or they will look at you like you are an idiot and tell you "You can't do that"....
If you want to send me the two you have I will mill them for you and have them back to you within a few days. You pay the shipping to me and I will pay it back to you. 120 a wheel for the machining and the shipping back to you is included.
I sell the brand new Alcoas milled and shipped for 450ea. The ones in the pic look like the medium hole Alcoa classics and I have a set in stock and ready to be cut.
Adapters I sell are solid steel and have the hub centric rings made into the adapter. A complete set w/72 lugnuts run 850 shipped to your door.
The wheels I use are all 8.25 inches wide and are hub-piloted. The wheels have to be hu-piloted to work with the adapters, the stud-piloted wheels will not work....

I could have filled you in on the machining but for as slow as I type every member could have answered

Well no one has said yet what it takes to machine these down yet.....

the bead on a semi tire is deferent then that on acar and my under standing is you don't take a full 1/4" off and it needs to be right to keep air in and the tire on
now my opinion: It's cheeper to have someone do it that has done it before and knows how to do it because thay have already payed for the mistakes. or as Ilike to say "If you can get someone to pay for your mistakes it gives you more beer money"

now thats a whole dime worth a wisdom right their

somewhat off subject... but how much do you have to raise/widen/maketaller/fix/however you wanna word it the rear fenders ta make 22s fit?




i am think i got a new job and $$$$$$ will be less tight around the house so i can finish my bitch up on some big wheels

I raised my fenders up to the bottom of the body line and didnt have to widen them because I swaped the rearaxle.

I RAISED AND WIDENED MINE 2 INCHES. I AM RUNNING 16'S WITH THE STOCK 225/75/16. WHICH MEASURE OUT TO 29 INCHES +/-. NOT SURE IF IS ENOUGH FOR A 22. (WIDTH WISE). BUT MY FUTURE PLAN ONLY CALL FOR A 19 AND THAT LOAD RATED TOYO 255/55/19, OR WHAT EVER SIZE IT IS.


ON THE SUBJECT, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS AND KINDA WEARY OF RUNNING A CUT DOWN 22 AND LOW PRO JUST FOR THE LACK OF BEAD WALL SURFACE. DOES ANY ONE KNOW ANY ANY MISS HAPS FROM THIS PROCESS. I KNOW A LOT OF TRUCKS RUN THE STOCK 16 ON THE INSIDE TO CARRY THE WEIGHT, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FRONT, EXPECIALLY ON THE CREW CABS. THATS A LOT OF WEIGHT ON A TIRE THAT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR IT. (JUST THINKING OUT LOUD)

OH CRIST!! WE'VE JACKED ANOTHER ONE OF PAUL42 THREADS


so are you raise'n the finders with or without a body drop mine's a box body chev
