Default My Almost Stock Wheels

I'm a big fan of using what Mother Mopar invented, unless you just can't. I found these wheels on a wrecked late 90's van for $10 each, they were just filthy and didn't have center caps, but they cleaned up like mirrors. I'm not a big fan of the stock center caps though. These are off of the 16" 3 spoke aluminum wheels from I think '99-'01 Rams. I think they have a smoother look than what this wheel came with from the factory, but I think the 2 together look great. And at only $7 per cap, I ended up with a really cheap, good looking set of wheels.

i put same wheels on my 93 d150,but with the stock center caps. they do look good dont they?? they used these wheels on 93 pick ups,and 93-02 dodge full size vans. they are some times hard to find in the bone yards.
i paid 15 each in our local pick and pull here in san antonio tx. good luck with your truck.

i think any dodge rams with 5 bolt from 85-09 use the 5x5.5 bolt pattern

Yep, along with 04 and up Durangos, older Jeep Cj's and older F-150's. But the Durango wheels and newer Ram wheels have center holes 2 small for our front hubs.

Yeah that's why I like these van wheels. They have a retro look to them (to me at least) that makes them fit the old trucks well.

I can attest to the F-150 wheels having the same bolt pattern... Took some nice wheels off of a 1993 I believe and only had to bore out the center to allow them to bolt on

ya. i had my dads f150 rims on my 91 once. the hole is just a bit too small. the stock dodge steel rims can look pretty good if you can get some beauty ring off a chevy. just like in my signature
