Front Rim Replacement, 1979 FC 35

[Robert Johannesen]

Henry,
Check with the truck tire and wheel dealers. I bought an Alcoa rim for
11RX 22.5 for my 78FC from a dealer in Dallas who had taken them in trade for a
bus owner who wanted to put 12Rs on his bus. They often have trade-in wheels -
you can get a good deal if you are willing to do the polishing. The last two
12Rs I bought for my 91 WLWB, I got from the Michelin dealer in Oklahoma City.
The polishing is hard work and is expensive if you want someone else to do it.
But most tire stores know someone locally who does it.
Good luck,

Bob & Judy Johannesen

Henry,

Have you tried going to "Links" on the WanderlodgeForum home page and
then using the 'Archive Search' function that was created courtesy of
Dennis Nichols? Works for me when searching for old posts. Locally
for you, Bexar Trailer, off 410 in south San Antonio has Alcoa rims
avaiable. Contact me offline if you can't find a listing for them.

the front of my bus? I'm assuming that I have the original rims on it
and, since my tires are fairly new, I'd like to stick with the same
size. (2) Is there any special information that I need to know to
properly describe my rims? (3) Any recomendations on where to
purchase the rim? (4) Last April someone had written to me about a
place in Florida, I believe it was a truck stop, that had a new rim
for my bus at a darn good price. Unfortunately, I cant' find that
message. Anybody recall such a message? It would have been around
April 8th, 2005. (5) Thanks. Henry Claeys, McAllen, Tx. 1979 FC
