Default Wheels - Factory Reproductions

I've been considering putting 20" Ram 5 spoke wheels on my '09, so I've been watching for used wheels locally. I came across this company on FleaBay offering SRT replica wheels
http://cgi.ebay.ca/20-SRT10-Dodge-Ra...item3ef9133db4

and wondered if anyone here has had any experience with them.

Yeah a lot of us have them now a days. They are a pain to clean and they scuff easy. I say don't do it.

Do you think the chrome would have the same issues? Yours appear to be black?

true...but you also remember its wat you pay for and what you like! now honestly Eric i like the way your rims and has given me ideas...but i'll keep my rims for a while and remember if you get the rims you can always paint them and always have your stock rims and tires to put back on during winter or when you want like at the track!

I like those style rims, and I've seen them on the dakota and they look great.

Eric, the wheels you have are what I really want, but even used, prices seem high. I thought there would be more available locally than what I've found, but very few. I'm going to check price from Chrysler as I can get a good discount, but I don't think it will be a realistic option.

I haven't seen a set up close. Tell me about the cladding, is it a plastic skin?

LOL, isn't that the truth.

jtmdakota, they do look good and I'm sure they would hold up well. The only reason I wouldn't do it is I like being different. A couple of users bought them then everyone started buying them. If that is what you really want then buy them and drive your truck proudly. Just my 2cents.

I am with Blown287 . I have them on my truck. I love them and they are holding up great. Almost everything has been done before so do what you like.
