Chrome Mopar Wheels

[KHogan]

Anybody out there know the correct Mopar part # for the OEM 17" chrome-clad steel wheels that come with the Ram 2500 4X4 SLT package? I've got a Laramie on order, but I hate those dull aluminum wheels it comes with. Trying to find the right number on the net has been impossible, and even my dealer screwed up (i. e. , 5GY15S4-AA @ $161MSRP are the painted steel wheels if I'm not misstaken). Can anyone help?

Not sure of your location, but I'm guessing you'd be happier with the alloys. If you want to trade, I have some chrome-steel wheels for you.

 

[KHogan]

Actually, I'm going to use the stock alloys as my winter wheels (w/ the optional BFG A/T tires), and want the chrome jobs for the rest of the year. I looked at chrome aftermarket wheels, but haven't found ones that I like.

I'll sell you mine, if you can wait long enough for me to get something else mounted up.

How close are you to a forward air terminal?

I work at Newark Liberty Int'l Airport (EWR). Yes, I'd be interested provided that the wheels are in excellent shape (i. e. , no rust, dings, scratches or curb rash) and the price is right. Yes, I'd like the best possible price on extra wheels for my truck (hence my post here), but it makes no sense to mount anything less than new or like new wheels on a brand-new '04. 5 $48,000 truck with zero miles on it, don't you agree?

KHogan-I agree! The first thing I noticed when I picked up my shiny new black truck were those dull wheels. They look like they're painted flat silver. Are they the same width as the chrome wheels?

 

[robobx]

I know there is no curb rash, or rust. I'll clean them up tomorrow and snap a few pics for you. when cleaned up they look good, I want something wider for my 315s.



email me so I have an address to send the pics to

I swiped a curb a couple months ago doing a U-turn and dinged my wheel up pretty good. I bought a replacement off of Ebay for about 45 bucks.

Now that I finally got my truck after waiting for FIVE months, I'm still looking for the OEM Chrome wheels from the SLT package. Anyone know the right OEM part number? Anyone wanna sell theirs? I looked at T-rex Supensions 18X10 Weld Racing Wheels, but I don't want monster mudders on a primarily street-driven truck. I want to keep the ugly stock aluminum wheels for winter, but I want the chrome jobs for summer.
