What are some good wheel manufacturers???
 
I'm looking for steel wheels to put on my H3.

I really like my Bridgestone AT duelers, that came on my adventure package, and as time approaches to replace tires, I most likely will buy these again, and replace the wheels at the same time.

Can anyone comment on a good name brand after-market steel wheel for the H3?
I don't like the aluminum alloy wheel any longer. The chroming has started to flake due to the car wash. You know that acid brake dust cleaner they spray on.
Well, anyway, I was hoping to replace the wheels when I buy new tires and thought that a steel wheel like the Military HMMWV, and other trucks use would be more cost effective, and cheaper to replace or re-paint if needed.

The alloy wheels are a bit pricey to replace, and there are no Chrome shops that I know of around me that I want to pay to re-finnish the wheels.

I want to keep the 16"x7.5" wheel with the same factory lug pattern and back spacing.

I saw that Teaka Toys has Pacer in steel but know nothing of that company.

Not sure about steel wheels, but I had a hard time finding the same OEM stock Bridgestone AT Duelers with the same tread pattern. The Tire Rack is the only place that had them in stock that I found. I needed only one for an extra spare. I've got 55000 miles on them rotating six tires, should be able to get at least 70K.

Good information I received from another forum.
The H3T, comes standard with steel, factory GM wheels. That means correct backspacing and lug pattern.

I saw a pic, and they look good. Plus they're half as much as the factory aluminum ones.
