Does anyone have a set of wheels for a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 they want to sell, I would prefer the 20" chrome effect ones but would also consider 17" alloy ones. Just need something to use in the winter.

Cheers

the factory 20" wheels arent actually chrome plated, Dodge called them 'chrome clad' which is basically a chrome effect shaped ABS wheel trim, which just fits over the wheels.

good look with your search, id imagine stock wheels will be hard to come by over here

new SRT ram wheels are no longer available, already !

Yep I knew they were a plastic cover bonded on, there was a set on eBay this week but one wheel was damaged and the chances of getting a single one are even worse, I would just be happy with the standard 17" alloy ones that the UK ones came with, anything to stop my chrome ones falling appart this winter.

i guess keep an eye on ebay, import from the US, or if you plan to continue driving your ram to avoid the salt move to Hawaii wink

Try someone like Newport Imports as they change a lot of wheels on their trucks for 22's. Or give Ron Fenton of STS Imports a call, he's does some really good deals an wheel and tyre combo's.

Not true about the chrome covers on all RAMS seems the stock models have chrome over covers, but the Rumble Bee does have Chrome wheels not covers.

If you fancy the SRT10 wheel which I had on my truck then Detroit wheel and tyre did have complete sets for 2000 dollars brand new with tyres balanced and ready to go, they bought up the rest of the factory line when they stopped making SRT's
