Where can I get stock factory aluminum wheel?

[Archive]

I'd like to eventually get one more of the stock "fancy" aluminum wheels for use on my spare tire, so that I can rotate the spare into use and it won't look out of place with it's plain steel wheel.

I haven't checked with my Dodge dealer as yet... Anyone have any idea what one of those wheels might cost?

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,

Jasper Jeep/Dodge in Jasper, GA (706-692-6921, parts) is selling "take-offs" from new vehicles for $75/ea. I don't know how good this is comparatively, but thought I'd mention...

When I finally looked at the spare under my new truck, I was unhappy that DC gave me a steel rim. I think it is cheap of them to short change you like that..... Plus I was miffed that they didn't offer it as an option to at least let me have a choice!

So I *****ed to my 5* dealer, who expressed a whole lot of nothing, and sent me to parts who offered me 10% off list (are you ready? $336. 00). Big price, little discount! So I called the DC # in the rear of my Manual (the parts guy suggested this) and complained to them.....

Result? Got the new rim for $200. They called the dealer and evidently, if I heard right, the dealer can knock of $100 for darn near any reason just for customer satisfaction... .

I didn't even like paying $200, but when I figured the cost of changing the tires off the steel rim at each rotation, AND the new rim will be for the life of the vehile AND now I have another rim for my SECOND spare when I go to Alaska or Baja!
