 As most owners will tell you, the rotational mass of a non-ferrous wheel has much less impact on the time - space continueum. This has a mitigating effect on the nano-velocity of other contigious parts and helps keep the LD's inner energy in balance. Besides, they just sound better.

I believe that the aluminum wheels have large hand holes that allow easier access to short valve stems, precluding the need for the custom long stems (or flexible extensions).

Bumper,

Are aluminum wheels more effective for inner balance than a rigid following of feng shui priciples in the motorhome?

Curious minds want to know!

Re: Aluminum Wheels
 Bumper, have you any details as far as the weight factor vs. steel? This would be interesting along with any strength statistics.

Joan,

The previous owner of my '02 RK said that he replaced the original wheels with aluminum wheels to lighten up his weight; he was towing a 5,000 pound SUV. I have no idea about just how much this helped.
