Any experience with these?

Dave, don't you have a set on yours?

Any negatives, any positives?

I would assume they would assist in mileage, help cool the brakes, and complement steering/handling, as they do in a car.

Who make them and are they a recommended upgrade?

I would be looking to replace my tires in a year or two, probably wait until then..

Hi Windsor,

I have no experience with this, but I've read of the products from Alcoa.

Google with "P30" and "Alcoa" brought me these sites:

Keep me posted on your efforts, I'd love to learn more!

I have s/s covers but the wheels are steel.

Now the front wheels are the Ellis Safewide Wheels and I don't know if they are steel or aluminum.

The Ellis/Boxer wheels I have seen were chrome plated steel.

I found some rims on the Workhorse Website that might work for your application.
