I hope to order today. I will have to see.

I like those caps, but Stock Wheel Solutions said they will substitute stock caps that say Dodge on them for free. I think that would help keep a semi OEM look.

What do you think?

So you have the Chrome Mopar caps on yours? Gotta pic of them on? I wonder if they make those in black or grey?

Check all the pix on this one. It's a gray JGC SRT8 that has the wheels in what appears to be machine-faced in Gunmetal. OTOH it could be Hyper Silver??? Anyway it is cool, IMHO. And the red caliper covers really set it off. http://tinyurl.com/kxeax6z
It's what I hope to get if The Comptroller agrees.

Yep, those are the same wheels I am getting when I can. Those are on the SRT8 so they are 10" wide and not 9" wide like the ones I am getting. They are painted wheels, no machine face on them. Also, the ones I am looking to buy look a little darker, but its hard to tell.

BTW, those aren't caliper covers on that bad boy! Those are the real deal Brembo Calipers that come red from the factory! There is actually a guy on here that put those same brakes on his Durango. Thats big bucks though.

They come in Chrome only ...BUT they are plastic and can be painted. Just clean and apply some adhesion promoter and shoot em Black all will be well
Mine are Hyper silver. The ones on that Jeep are factory SRT8 rims

You're saying OEMs are 20X10s without a machined face? Because the repros clearly state they are 20X8.5 WITH a machined face. http://tinyurl.com/n7r8yw2

Correct sir. If you go look at 2012-2014 Jeep GC SRT8 the wheel size is 20" tall and 10" wide and they have a painted finish. I think they are all a grey finish. None of them have machined faces as OEM. I don't want a 10" wide wheel though. The 8.5" wide ones with the machine face are nice but not what I am looking for. The ones in the link are 8.5 inches wide with a 42mm offset where the ones I want are 9 inches wide with a 34mm offset. So mine will come out a little more flush with the wheel wells but the machine face ones will come out a little more than the stock Durango wheels.

OK, thanks. I'm glad we got that straight. BTW, today I stopped at the local Jeep dealer and he offered me the OEMs for only $1,412 EACH. I passed on 'em. :-)
