Hey y'all! Looking for a new wheel/tire combo for my 97 12v right now it's sitting on stock rims. I came across some older rims that were cheap but there are only three and I don't know what they're called any help is much appreciated. Is there a good place to get the older style wheels besides CL?
I'm pretty sure they're American racing by the center caps just not sure what they're be called. I'll start googling for some riveted directions and check out some junkyard too. Thanks
These are 16" x 8" Dodge OEM aluminum wheels used on some 2000-2001 Ram 2500 trucks. These will work on your truck, but you will have to alter the rear drum's stiffening rib on each side for them to fit. You will need to modify the rear drums for any wide 16" wheel that you might use. You can sometimes find these on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.
Ar rims have a casting ID on the back somewhere. It's usually two letters with 2-3 numbers such as AR123. If you can find it you can get the name. Problem is if someone may have this wheel they too don't know any info on it. Try looking on ebay for used wheels. Even if you do find one what are the chances it will be 8 lug and the exact same size as yours? Here is a pic of it on an old ar catalog...
