I really like the look of these. Probably my #2 choice in wheel, behind the chrome SRT wheels from the 3rd Gen.

Crap, I just ordered me a set of these on Ebay, but I thought they were chrome but no where in the Ebay ad does it say "CHROME" but yours sure shine like chrome!! I allready have the old alloys though! I guess if they dont shine like yours I can allways have them chomed! The ad says machined aluminum finish!

They are machined and polished. Not as mirror-like as chrome but you can still see your reflection in them. They are definitely NOT dull or matte finish.

Cool! As long as they look like yours they are bound to good on my black truck w/chrome bumpers, grill, bug shield, nurf bars & bed rails! They look sharp on yours and I cant much stand my old painted looking alloys that came with the SLT. BTW what did yours come with from the factory?

Mine is an 09 Sport so it came with the nice 5 spoke chrome clads. That's why it took so long to find a replacement wheel. I wanted a non-clad wheel that looked at least as good as the OEM's.

Hey Mike,

Love the wheels....in fact, planning on ordering a set in the next day or so.

A few quick questions....these are Dodge (OEM) manufactured wheels, correct? Everything on the website indicates so.....just wanted to verify with an owner.

Any issues with transferring your tire pressure monitoring stems over?

Finally, are they truly forged? The Mopar website indicates that they are, however the Ebay site makes no mention.

Hell of a deal if they are truly OEM and forged!!!

What did you do with your chrome clads anyhow? The stock 20" tires ought to fit these rims right?

I called them today at 866-273-3651 and asked them that my self, spoke to a Rawley Dunn and he claimed they were, I read somewhere else on the web they are immitations though, I dont know what to believe. I went ahead and went through with my order though. I really think if they were selling cheap immitations through a dealer in Flordiia though that someone would have shut them down allready.

Thanks for the follow up, Hdcowboy.

The part number they provide on the website looks like a typical Chrysler part number, but cannot find anything when I google it.
