Chrome clad wheels SUCK! NEw ONE? Where?

[JARichard]

Pull up to a customer working in his oilfield and he is laughing at MY DODGE :{

So I say what is SOOOO DAMN FUNNY?

HE says look your rim is outside your tire :-laf

I wanted to him in the ARSE... . BUT ..... He was right. the outer lip of my rim is coming apart.

And a couple hours later it came off... .

Are the Aluminum wheels 8" or 7" wide?

And any one know where i can buy a complete set of Aluminum cheap? or a single chrome rim for cheap.

THANKS!

8" just like the chrome clad steel ones... the base model steel ones are 7. 5" though

Actually I THINK the alum stock wheels are 8. 5" wide (as if that's a big difference).



Good luck. Unless you find someone with one they will let go cheap you will end up paying at least $200 for ONE wheel.



I bumped a curb pretty hard a few months agon and it bent the wheel pretty good.

After hunting for days on e-bay and 'every-else-where' I could not find a better deal than the dealer. Not to say YOU can't... but again I say good luck.

The stock alloy wheel is 17x8 on my 04. 5 2500. E-bay is probably the best price for rims and you may find a single.

What do the stock aluminum rims typically go for? I just took all 4 off and am trying to figure out what to do with them.

I am interested in a single chrome steel wheel to replace my spare if anyone wants to break up a set. Price would have to be cheap since I will need to pay shipping too. I'd like to be able to rotate 5 tires, but can't do that with the stock spare rim.

Are they the polished ones or the brushed ones? What do you want for them? And will you ship them to Utah?

 

[JVolpe]

I am also looking for ONE either stock Chrome plated or Aluminum Alloy rim. I have two sets of 4. One 4 wheel set of stock chrome wheels with 315s mounted and one 4 wheel set of alumimun alloy with 315s. I need one wheel of either type to have a spare 315. The other set of wheels will be used for smaller tire size to use at the drag strip. I will have 3 BFG 315/70R/17 All-Terrain tires with about 10,000 miles on them that I really don't need. I was looking to buy a rim and 315 for a spare when I found a set of 4 Dodge stock Chrome wheels with 315s mounted and balanced. They had about 8-10k and looked like new. Gave $740 mounted, balanced and put on the truck. Now I have 4 spares.

I have 4 chrome clad steel wheels that I just yanked off that I'll sell for $30 a piece with no center cap and you pay whatever the shipping is. The wheels have been on the truck for 19000 miles and are in great shape with no curb kisses. I was contemplating keeping them in case I get transferred back to Alaska but I am running out of room in the attic. If you want one, let me know via email and we'll go from there...

I PM'd you and sent email with my email and phone #. I want the wheels.

 

[MFalkinham]

Shucks, I replied to CoastyAV8R's TDR ad several days ago and never heard back from him.

If JVolpe only wants one rim, I'd still be interested in 2 for use with rear snow tires. That way klenger can buy the last one?

Let me know please.

[JVolpe]

That would work for me.

 

[klenger]

I'll take one if it's still available. email me at -- email address removed -- or respond here.



I love this place. Oo.

 

[DocDetonancour]

I bought all 4 aluminum, with Chrome centers from Les Swaub for $200! Good Luck, doc

 

[JARichard]

Well, i called Dodge and they want $339. 00 for one rim. I wanted to choke.

I did find one in a junkyard i am going look at Monday. $135

Wish i could find some aluminum ones???

CRYING!!!! Well X hello to you tooo!!! How have you been?

OK If you pay the amount of money we did for these trucks you expect some kinda quality. The truck isnt abused used for mudriding, racing etc... ... ... . But damn the chrome coming off the wheels at 100k miles and 2 years old sucks..... Oh and $339 for a new one.

PS Is pulling out a high centered 10,000lb forklift abuse?

 

[MFalkinham]
