I have those same factory rims and I hate them. I think I am going to paint mine black or get new ones or something. Mine just have no appearance left...they are dull and look like crap no matter whatyou do to them. I actually looked at buying a set of 17x7 steel like you have now for $50 and painting them black.

Don't do it

Take the hundred bucks, put it away, and when you have enough buy the wheels you want.

for some reson i actually like your understated stock steel wheels with the way your truck is. it looks good. but if you are going to change them get a cheap black steel wheel.

I like black steelies myself. I just wish those RAM center caps like you have on yours were a little less desirable. The stupid things go for like $30 each used at some wrecking yards.

That looks so much better, PC. Go with some 265's.

Thanks PurplDodge. That's an awesome price. I want 8 lug chrome though. It looks like that site only has 8 lug black.

I never really had a problem with them. Thats why I was asking if it was worth the upgrade to the alloy's or not. The soft 8's are out of the budget but did it for fun because I was bored. Anyway... here is stock rim, new white letter tire. Made the tires a little bigger for purple.



Keep steel or go alloy? Im a cheap **** so this is the fork in the road.
