Try Southwest wheel. Sometimes some of the HD truck dealers also have good prices. I think the website is southwestwheel.com Your steel wheels should have a number stamped on them. You will need that # so they can cross to Alcoa.

By 'number' you mean the width of the rim?

I was an Alcoa dist back in the 80's in Tampa. We had the 22.5 wheels in stock, depending on the polish (inside or outside) and would have the local Goodyear commercial tire dealer come over and mount them for the customer. Check with one of the local semi-trailer dealers in your area. They usually have them in stock or are located at their parts dist center. Because of slow trailer sales you might be able to find them on sale also. Remember, if you are coming off steel wheels you may have to change the wheel studs(longer), the aluminum wheels being thicker at the mounting holes, and go to different outside cap nuts,(on the rears) ones with a shoulder to center the wheels on the nuts. Good luck with your project.

bagman,
I bought 4 used from Tiffin in Red Bay.
I took them to where Tiffin buys theirs, (Kimbrough's Automative)for their new chassis they build, and had them polished, mounted balanced and put on my rid.
I paid $100.00 each for the rims and $350.00 for the polishing, mounting, etc.
This helps if you are going to Red Bay.
