Aluminum wheels

Has anyone tried putting a set of Alcoa 19.5 x 6 on an rv like mine? Wheel company says they will fit. Local Ford dealer says no. For the dual wheels in back the rims must ride on the lip on the hub. I had this issue with a topkick I had and had to buy two steel inners. I’m being told Alcoa’s are thinner and the second rim will catch the lip as necessary. I like the looks of alumnimum but also wanted the less weight bouncing up and down. 15-25 lbs per wheel exact weight equates up to 7x that when in motion I’m told. Seems logical to reduce wear and tear on components.
