Are they aluminum or steel? Will the paint come off?

Aluminum. Eagle alloys. Nice looking wheels even with paint but I only have 3.
My fingernail scratched it off but not sure what you could use to speed up the process.

The three is fine, I'll swap you wheels. I can have the tires taken off tomorrow if that works for you.

The third one is going to be a spare. I only need two, I want 12" wide for the rear.
Were do you want to meet, and when?

That's not a bad idea to let him drive, but do keep in mind, driving a C20 Long Bed vs a C10 Short Bed is going to be different. Still a bit similar, but those short beds tend to bounce alot IMO and beat the **** outta you. The comfort those give up just to have a grocery gitter instead of a truck is beyond me.

Maybe it's the somewhat different chassis but my stepside rides better than a longbed.

I don't buy that ******** for a second homie. I've also ridden and drove shortbeds. Bouncy mo fos. It only makes sense though. Shorter wheels base and lighter weight isn't going to make a comfy ride. My C20 rides like a caddy and all it's got is some fair gas charged shocks. It doesn't even have a had a bad bounce going over a railroad tracks. My K1500 even rides smooth until I hit rough road then the front end is boucy which is expected being a leaf spring straight front axle.

Well, you can drive it when you come down. I drove a couple of GMT400 longbeds and they were harsh.

I had a 93 GMC 1500 SL long bed that rode pretty rough in the rear. Very similar to what I think a Square shortbed rides like. I think the reason the C20's ride good is that they have a 56in spring rather than a 52. That also makes a difference as well as the wheel base and the weight of the truck. Consider the weight of dual 20gallon tanks, heavier rear axle etc it all adds up to a more comfy ride.
