Just to put all concerns to rest...

Yes they are forged alloy.

Yes they are real Dodge wheels...right down to the center caps.

Yes they are 20x9 just like the original factory equipment so tires fit the same.

Yes the TPMS units swap right over.

Yes it is a GREAT deal on a wheel

and YES, I'm really starting to wish I had not let the cat out of the bag. Now EVERYBODY will have wheels just like mine!!!

Not to worry man, not very many will just leave them alone, most will make them look ugly somehow LOL Sorry rest easy if you just leave them stock only you and well maybe me if I can talk my wife into them for Christmas.....I would go with the Falken's by the way, had a set on my 03 Durango R/T they were only 17' but were wider, anyway they handled and drove in all conditions great...suppose 4x4 helps. These original tires if you check out tire racks rating they are almost unacceptable for winter. If I get them I might go 17 inch and put all terrain T/A's....not sure if I will lower the truck though. I don't want alignment issues down the road.

I was originally going to powder coat mine in satin gunmetal metallic but changed my mind when I opened the boxes and saw how nice they are! I don't think they come in 17".

Sorry to rain on your parade, but they are nice wheels at the right price.

I promise....if I need to drive through Tennessee, I will put the "clads" back on.

Seriously, thanks for taking time to answer my questions.

Regards,
Thomas

your truck is lowered too right?

i thought blacking out some of the rim would go along with your theme..(since you blacked out other things)... but i think it looks great just the way it is..


Yeah, I like that Doc.

Hey Doc. Think you could put some orange body colour on the out side rings of these rims. I think that would look killer with the black inside!

street look would be nice too only if you lowered it also
