[A/S] aluminum wheels

[Terry Tyler <tylerbears@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You might start by asking the parts department guys at various Airstream
dealerships. Find the 800 numbers in the Blue Beret magazine.  It's not
uncommon for them to have used ones available.  Some parts managers are
always looking for ways to turn a profit on used parts.

A few years ago, I picked up a used aluminum wheel at Oasis RV in Tucson. I
put it on as the spare. When I sold our '86 32' Airstream in June 2001, I
let it go with the trailer.

Last year, I picked up another used aluminum wheel at a surplus store in
Yuma for $25. It looks newer than any of my other four aluminum wheels on
our '77 31' Airstream.  It's now the spare for that trailer.

Unless you are flush with greenbacks, you could always consider finding them
one at a time (or a set of four) like on a scavenger hunt (while traveling).

Or, you could start paying attention to where tow trucks take wrecked travel
trailers when they are totaled on the Interstate.  Each Winter season (Nov
to Apr), we hear about a wrecked Airstream that a local junk yard is parting
out.  

People whom we don't know at all - delight in telling us about them. <grin>
Unless in a hurry, you can find anything and everything - sooner or later.
