Only the outer wheels are aluminum. I have steel inners on the rear. I'm still a little confused about what hub centric means?

I'll have to disagree with you on that, as said pin is no larger than 1/2" in diameter whereas the hole it fits in is like 3/4" or so. Not sure what exactly that pin does tho, other than getting in the way.
the pin is for alignment so when you put the wheels on the valve stems end up opposite of each other and lined up with a hole in the rim so you can put air in them.really dont know why they did it to the fronts though.knock them out if you want,theyre not needed.you need to remove them for most aftermarket aluminum wheels
The lugnuts on these wheels are a deep shank style. Like what i used to mount my slotted mags on my Cherokee.
Sounds as though they are lug centric then
not sure about that.the aluminum wheels on my duallie center on the hubs but use the "normal" chrome lugs.

I have no clue what the "Pin" is for. I would just knock em out for aluminum wheels.
And all the dually I have seen are hub centric so the wheels center themselves
The rims you're looking at are hub centric and yes the pin is to keep it from walking on the hub. No not all duallies are like this.
I have been messing with a chassis/cab dually dump truck once in awhile, and haven't figured out some things about them yet.
1. See that pin sticking out in the above picture of the dually adapters? The wheels have a corresponding hole that this pins fits into. What exactly is the purpose of this? I know the pin fits into the hole in the wheel, but why is this needed? Does it have something to do with my 2nd question?
2. I noticed on the truck I am messing with (1989), the lug nuts are not conical shaped. The lug nuts have a large washer made onto them. Are all duallies like this? There is nothing that is going to center these wheels to the hubs except the fit on the large hole in the center of the wheel. Is this possibly the reason for the pin, to keep the wheel from working back and forth around the hub centric part of the hub?
here is a pic of those rear adapters. All steel
