Alcoa or Accuride, I really don't care !

[bobmiller1]

Alright....So I really need some help....If anyone has a donor Classic Motorhome or knows of one sitting out in the middle of a corn field somewhere in the continental United States....I am REALLY looking for 6 aluminum rims for my 1989 325LE. I have exhausted my efforts looking through Google searches for salvage yards, E-Bay searches for the same.

[PeterH-350LE]

to make your search a little easier, consider using the steel rim on the inner duallies, like most of the classics do. But then my spare is an Alcoa, 12 nut. Will be difficult to mount on the front in case of a flat

[PeterH-350LE]

I was wrong, it's a 10 hole in the rear. This is what I got of my Alcoa Rims, it may help your search:
DO4381 19.5x6 Part#761002 15 degrees Date 0190

Now i realize that a previous owner did this upgrade on my 310

761002 is what I need, a 325 has a tag axle this is why I need 6. Do you have them ???

No sorry, just tried to helpful with the part number, which you already know does not yield any results at the Alcoa website.

As with any rare part for an Airstream, be patient, be prepared to act fast with cash, be prepared to pay with a lot of it.

I too have been sort of looking but am happy so far with the great SS simulators I bought from Phoenix wheel covers. A lot cheaper and you can rotate all wheels in any position.

Goodluck but people know how much they are worth.

Cheers

Thanks to Randy in Michigan, I was able to buy his two spare Alcoa 761002 and accessories. Last night I scored a brand new (NIB) Alcoa 761002 from Oregon for $125.00 plus shipping. I have decided to put these three on the right side for now because that is the side that I look at the most and it will bother me less that I am still waiting for three more to show up somewhere. Will post pictures next week after I get them mounted up. Thanks again Randy.

Sorry Punch, they will not fit.

Bob,
If you can find any Alcoa rims with the number 761003, they will work front or back, they are polished on both sides. The 761001 is for front only, and the 761002 is for rear only and both are polished on only one side.

I now have 3 Alcoa 761002's, still looking for 3 more. They look awesome. Last trip of the season is next weekend to Cooperstown, NY with the 396XL. Last road trip for the 325LE is this weekend...one more day of welding...then back to my shop for the winter and round two or should I say phase two of the three phase overhaul...

[mayco]

Whoa...Bob those look fantastic!!!

[Keyair]

Looking good Bob!
I too have been looking and waiting, and just got lucky and found some localish(2hrs drive) to me.

Got 6 wheels, 2 fronts and 4 rears for $500.


They will need some TLC, but look it great shape, and were dated between 1983 and 1984. Now to save for tires to go on them!

What are you guys doing about valve stems... need to get the right style/config. Plan to add tire pressure monitors too. Also, I want to be able to access the dually's for air pressure.

[bobmiller1]

If you come across any more let me know....still looking for four more.

Nice wheels Steve!!!!!

I don't know about how accurate or the quality of these TPMS products, but do know you can get them for mounting on extenders.

Get a system that has a replaceable battery in the sensor, like "tireminder", or you have to replace the entire sensor once the battery goes dead.
You can have up to 12 sensors

I have been using this system for several years on my Airstream trailers.
I can switch them to the 310, if I go on a longer trip. If the valve extender is securely riveted to the center cap, it should not be a problem. Any chance for tire inbalance is of course taking care of by the centramatics
