I am getting an 03 Dodge 3500 4x4 Dually next week and don't care for the wheels and tires that come on it. Seems like most the wheels you see on Duallys are UGLY. Is there an aftermarket company that makes some nice wheels for a dually?

Also will probably need some new rubber, any suggestions? I do probably about 90% highway and 10%off road so what would be a good tire and size?

Last question, what is the name of them company that makes the bed cover that pulls out from the front and then retracts back. Think it is some sort of vinyl on a track system or something. I don't want the Tonneau because you have to take it off to tow with.

Here is a photo of the truck I am getting.



Oh ya one last thing. The running boards gotta go. Going to replace them with the tube type steps.

Brentz Wheels makes some nice ones.

Alcoa...........

 

those are nice.
I like the 19.5 HOT RODS

 

Those are my favorite too. I think those will look good on my Dad's MC dually.

i like the blades......

 

I actually spoke with Brent, the owner of Brentz wheels. If you can afford them thats the way to go. He makes his 19.5's so they pilot off of the studs and hub which is way stronger than most whos are either just stud or hub piloted but not both. I put some (not Brentz) 19.5's on wy SRW which I love but the duallies are expensive so that will have to wait.

 

For the price of 19.5s you can get a set of 22.5s. Just saying.

 

Alcoa...

 

I have seen a few 19.5's that I liked, ALL the 22.2's I've seen are wicked looking.

The adapters and additional weight are a negative, but......

 

The 19.5's are direct bolt on, the 22.5's require adapters plus the tires and wheels. They are $1500-2000 difference when I checked. I like the look of the 22.5's but to me it just seems to much for a one ton truck. Like putting 44's on a toyota. Brakes, bearings, drivetrain etc. seems like they would fail much sooner.

 

WOW, I had no idea that dually wheels would cost so much. I just checked out one of our Fire Mechanics trucks here at work cause he has the exact same truck I am getting next week. He had on 17" Aluminum Eagles and I thought they looked great. He said he paid $1800 for them and that even included new tires. I think I will go this route instead. Anyone have any problems or negatives aboutt he Eagles? The guy I know that has them says he loves them.....

 

22.5's with tires & adapters, $4995.00.

 

That's way to rich for my blood. Thinking I will go for the American Eagles like these.



These look good I think.
