[cowboybarber]

I have a couple of stock wheels that are warped and I need toreplace them. I need to know where I can order a couple or somewhere around close I can buy some. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, I found that site after I posted this but the store closed at 5 central. I would still like to know of somewhere around the Nashville or Bowling Green,KY area that might have them. If I cant find somewhere I will buy from Southwest

Just a note. . When I had my tires/wheel rebalanced, (I'm a fairly new CTD guy), the guy said all of the rims are off a bit. He showed me two of them and you could see the wobble on the machine. When I asked if I should buy some new ones, he said that all the 'stock rims' are prob like that! Not precision. . New from Dodge would prob result in the same. . He said the only way to get 'straight' rims is to buy aftermarket alum rims, as they're turned on a lathe. and new stock rims cost about $65 ea. but you can get low end alum. rims for $100 ea. Prob a better way to go. and I agree. . Just my $ . 02 (He knew I wasn't going to buy rims and I wasn't a 'local' guy where I got this done, so I don't expect that he was trying to 'sell' me). . IF you do find a deal on stock rims and have the runout checked and find them good, I'd like to know. . (and to know if this tire guy was giving me a line of Bull****). . Thanks JohnG

a friend has a set off a 01 he will sell for 40 each, and a 12 pack of beer. perfect shape aluminum wheels

Wheen I had these latest tires put on last week, all the rims but 2 balanced pretty easy maybe 2 or 3 ounces of weight. But these other two needed 7-8 ounces on both sides and still would not balance perfect. Besides that I knew something was wrong because my truck had developed an awful vibration. It has gotten better with the balancing they could do, but still vibrates at 62 miles an hour. Go 60 no problem,go 65 no problem only at 62-63mph.





And about those aluminum wheels are they for a dually or single wheel, just not sure if you noticed but I have a dually. And will those fit a 2000 model I thought they changed a little that year, but not sure. But if not that sounds like a good deal.

I checked car parts and all those wheels on there were 100 a piece any way so might as well buy new ones.
