Stainless wheel simulators???

[Stoops]

I've been shopping for Stainless wheel simulator caps for my 05 3500 Dually. A couple vendors have them for the 05 F@rd F350. Would these fit my Dodge? Does anyone have a source for the correct ones?

No, the ford bolt pattern is not the same. Dunno of anyplace selling sim's for this truck

Just ordered a set from www.wheelsimulators.com. Cost is $269 + shipping. Found them on ebay, but can also order them directly from website.

Just got my new set of wheel simulators and installed them. They look real good - wife gave them a thumbs up!



Did have a couple of them slightly bent at one edge, but was able to carefully straighten them. Packaging was less than optimal.

Fit was very good and installation was easy. Did note that the 5-holes were smaller than the original, so it will be a bit harder to reach valve stems. Extensions are pretty much a must.

Covers used two Phillips head screws. I may try to find some tamper resistant stainless screws to replace them.

Center emblems are adhesive backed and were not attached when received. A Ram head would be nice instead of the Golden eagle, but they did look better than on the website.



Overall, very happy and would order again. They are MUCH better than the originals.

Thanks Gary. Is it possible that the original center caps would clamp onto the lug nuts?

Sounds like these are all metal, correct? None of the plastic BS D/C gave us originally. Can't decide if I want to get a set of Eagle Alloys or maybe a set of these will work for a bit. Have to call and see if I can pick up a set in person, maybe a set for the GN too while I'm at it.

Yes the simulators are all metal. Supposed to be stainless.

The original center caps will snap on, but the screw tabs would have to be removed to allow the center cap to snap fully in place (leaves about 1/2" gap on front, and won't fit at all on back with screw tabs in place). However, I noticed the color of the finish was different (more of a gold cast on the new simulators), so I don't think it would look right anyway.

Darn, so they are not the bright finish ones.
