Default Wheels

Hi all...

After doing the wheel bearing, I see that my wheels are actally fake plastic chrome on steel - I never knew that - and probably didnt care LOL

BUT now that I know - what 15in aluminum wheels would fit on our vans? Is there one particular one from Dodge/Chrysler that does fit? I am looking, as always do do this inexpensively...I would consider junkyard ones to if I could find them...

I think our size is 5x115? Something like that?

Anyone have any suggestions? I just put new tires on my steel wheel and I have access to tire machines, so I can just swap them myself...thanks all

Also look at wheel width, and backspacing. Those are important as well. You can go wider, but, should try and stay very close on backspacing.

Didn't the ramchargers have aluminum slots as an option??

I had a link about backspacing also but it's closed.

I have a set of the aluminum bullet holes wheels I would sell. They came on the 90's pickups and vans. Couple of buts, only 3 center caps and I doubt you're close enough to pick them up. Here's what they look like with the flat center caps.
