replacing steel wheels with aluminum
 

Does anyone know of a good website to buy used equipment from. I am looking into changing from steel wheels to aluminum, but cant find anywhere to buy them. I do not want to get brand new-checked ebay and found nothing. Thanks.

Check tire dealers, they might have some used wheels.

Here in South Jersey,I went to a Truck junk yard. Paid 600.00 for 4ea. Have a look for Big truck junk yards on the net.

What is the weight difference between a pair of tandem steel and aluminum?

IIRC on average you can figure on about 20-40 pounds per wheel.

I just swapped out 4 steel for aluminum, and lost 180 pounds.

Theres pro cons to each.

Obviously aluminum look better and they're lighter.

But they can crack. Especially older ones.

Steel ones generally last longer.

Off the trailer or your waist?

Who said that?

Now, to be specific, was that 2 sets of tandems that are really 4 wheels or was that 4 tandems and 8 wheels total?

Thanks for the info guys.
