    Aluminum Wheels

    I was wondering if anyone has a good source on new or used 22.5 stud mount aluminum wheels. I am looking for 4 to 6 for my FL70. Also are there any cons to running 4. I heard you need a spacer if you do this. Thanks for all your help in the past. What a great place to learn. Dale

    I have a Freightliner FL70 with an extended cab small sleeper. I get alot of roof noise from the air bouncing back from the box. Does anyone have any experience with a wing attached to the roof to deflect the air or a nose cone. Will I gain much MPG with these options? Thanks alot guys. Dale
