After a lot of online and Youtube research we chose to order our wheels from http://www.4wheelonline.com in Tampa, FL . When ordering for the front wheel drive GMC Motorhome you must get seven front wheels, which includes the spare. There are no axle’s, it has a six wheel independent system which I’ve had explained to me a few times and I get it but I’m not sure I can explain it! Anyway…. you have to order seven front wheels and when they ask about the lug nut size there is a pause when you explain it’s for a 1975 GMC Eleganza Motorhome, ‘you know, the one in Stripes?’ the salesperson either slowly says, “mmhmmm” or “YEAH, I know – that’s great!”. To make things a bit more challenging is the original wheels were 16 1/2 inches, not an easy size to get if you have a flat and are stranded like Chevy Chase in the movie ‘Vacation’ so we ordered 16 inch wheels.
We went with the aluminum XD775 Rockstar Front, 16″ x 6″ with 8×6.5 lugnuts. They are very nice but the star is not our thing so husband did a little restomod-ing with the old hubcap and incorporated it into the new one. Like the rest of this project, I love that we are making things our own. The new wheels fit on the hub and now it’s time to purchase tires.
