dually rims or simulators

[TORQUE THIS]

what is on the 03 for rims / simulators?? Where can ya get them, I really like the look of them!

If these are the wheels you are talking about they are simulators. I thought they were aluminum WHEELS but they are just caps over steel wheels. They do look nice but for what I paid you would think they could do better than hub caps.

The simulators have some advantages. They are cheaper to replace that the wheels and they don't have the corrosion problems the alloy wheels have. I think the new simulators look better than the old style did.

I just want to point out that if the original point of this thread is to put the 03 simulators on a 2nd gen truck, the 03 rims are 17" rims and I doubt they'd fit the 2nd gen.

I really doubt that they would fit, different rim size and the hole pattern is different.

My bad... I forgot they have 17" rims. How about putting the 17" rims and simulators on a 2nd gen???

Polite disagreement there.



I wrecked the right front wheel caps on a high curb back in '99 and called my dealer's parts desk how much they were. The center hub was $55, the outer skin was $167, for a total of $222. Remember, that does not include the wheel itself. In contrast, the Mopar forged aluminum wheel was just $193.



Ever since, I have been sporting 6 aluminum wheels with no rust or pitting at all. This pic was taken this past September.
