So, currently I'm researching wheels, hub covers and other components. Both Accuride and Alcoa produce aluminum wheels good for this sort of heavy duty truck. Apparently they have some benefits besides just weight, including extending the life of your tires, and reducing maintenance needs vs steel wheels. I've got some issues I need to solve there, so once I can afford it I will consider aluminum wheels. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a solution that will also allow for a moon style disc wheel hubcap. Just some interesting links for reference: https://www.todaystrucking.com/showd...-steel-wheels/ https://www.arconic.com/alcoawheels/...heavy-duty.asp https://www.accuridewheelendsolutions.com/
