We'll be heading out in April after tax season ends and the kids get out of school for their April break. We'll be headed to Hilton Head, SC.

Actually Bill, we asked around some more and decided to not get the aluminum wheels. I think we are headed more toward the Tire Pressure Monitoring System as a better alternative. The wheels look cool, but for about $2500, they are pricey for something that is mostly looks rather than function.

Thanks Bill for the reponse. The pros as I understand them to be are that the aluminum wheels are lighter which allows more carrying capacity on the rig, they tend to hold air better than the steel because they are one piece, and you eliminate the squeaks of the stainless steel liners. I was curious about whether or not anyone who has gone the route of changing the steel for aluminum and what their reactions were to the change. I would try to sell my steel wheels and liners if I do switch to aluminum.

We have a 2011 Berkshire which came with steel wheels and the stainless steel inserts. We are giving serious thought to switching out the steel for Alcoa Durabrites or Accurides. Has anyone done this? What are the pros and cons?
