Default Chrome Clad Wheel Replacement

Has anyone had any luck with changing the 09-12 chrome clad wheels to another OEM wheel?
My bolt pattern is 5-127 but most of the other 5 bolt Ram wheels I'm finding are 5-139.7

Are you measuring it properly? ALL of the 1500s should be using the same bolt pattern..... (or similar weight rating if your ain't a 1500.....)

All 1500's use the same bolt pattern from 1994 to the end of the Classic run in 2023; 5th gen starting in 2019 uses a six lug. Any 17"-20" wheel from 2002 on is forwards and backwards compatible. I would avoid the mid 4th gen chrome clads as they are only 20x8 vs 20x9 that all the others are:

Agreed, any 17" Ram OEM wheel is compatible with all 5 lug Rams since the change, I thought 5x5.5 started in the late 80s already but I'm not going to argue that part. Just note it needs to be a 17" to clear the brakes.

Are those from ads? I would suspect that one is a misprint...... Have you measured the bolt pattern on your wheels?

I haven't measured the bolt pattern but the info is the same on multiple websites. I'm trying to avoid paying a hundred+ dollars a pop for yard art.
Thanks for the feedback

I'd be tempted to pull one of your wheels, and physically measure the bolt pattern....... So far as I know, ALL of the 1500's used the same pattern......
