Hey guys,

itīs me again. Now i would like to give you an update of my "rim-project"

After a lot of stress with the german TÜV ( German Associaton for technical Inspection )
and the fact that it was impossible to get a brand new set of four original dodge rims to germany,
i lost my faith to continue this project.

BUT .....

A few month later i met a guy here, who is importer for american carīs and trucks
and he said to me, that he will help me to get all the documents to pass the TÜV....hehehehe !!
That mean i could order every rims i want !!!!!!!

So i changed my mind and took a look at the summit-racing website.
I found a very nice looking rim, called:

Dick Cepek Black DC-2
in 17" x 9" / Offfset -12 / 4,5" Backspacing

http://www.dickcepek.com/wheels.php?item=DC2Black



Now i would like to know, if i can use my original dodge lug nuts with this rims ?
( you know i ride original dodge aluminum rims )

What do you guys think about the choice of the right lug nuts ?
Thx for help.

regards,
Heiko

 

they have rams in germany? you can afford to fill it up? heilige Kuh! i hope i spelled that right

 

1998 Ram 1500 sport.
Goodyear MTR Kevlar 35 X 12.50 X 15
3" rancho suspension lift.
2" body lift.
Dayton HD Ram 1500 coil springs.
I dropped from 16" rims to 15" for tire price.
Lift has been on truck for 12 years now.

i think some dick cepeks in those size would look better, just my opinion.

 

If you buy them, I'll take them.

 

lol i gotta buy me somethin first.

 

@ Bubba39047:

YES, there are RAMīs in germany.
.... just a handful of crazy guys ( like me ) ride a dodge Ram with V8 gas engine here !! hahaha !!
and yes, itīs not favorable to fill the ram up ( 1,45 EUR / 1 liter ) ...
but HEY ! We love the "real american pick up trucks"

My Ram is not a daily driver, just for fun / hobby
and by the way: a lot of guys here ride their rams with LPG ( Liquefied Petroleum Gas )
and not with gasoline.
LPG costs only the half price, but you have to install an LPG system onboard.


@ 2robinhood:

Nice truck !!!





... but now, letīs get back to my posting, please:

what about the stock lug nuts ?

is it a 60 degree conical seat ??


thx for help.
