Black rims

[skirider]

Why am i having such a hard time finding 20 inch oem style black rims. Looks like new ones are also gloss as the older style wass a matte.

The pricing on these is insane.

For the prices im seeing i could get a sweet set of aftermarket.

I just like keeping things oem

Any sites or suggestions.

i found www.customwheeloffset.com to be a great resource

Not that it really matters, but I think they are satin black...not matte black. Like my Rebel rims, pictured below, are satin black. All of the oem black emblems are a satin finish too.

I wanna paint my chrome glads.
Plasti dip keep peeling or bubbling in corners

20x9" OE Performance 155SB Dodge Ram 1500 Satin Black Wheels Rims 5x139.7 +18 | eBay

I ordered these about a month ago and am very happy. They're just replicas, but I bought the ram center caps and you can't tell a difference.

Where are you located. I have a set in the garage from my blacktop express

Do you like the chrome clads or just going for a budget black?

If you like them and want black, just paint them.... use some etching primer and a quality paint, I personally like ceramic engine paint if going with a rattle can.... seems to hold up better, but that's just my preference

So i have found a set of oem back rims on craigslist

They are the 20x8 +19 matte black

Curently have 20x9 +18 chrmome clads

My researching is telling me that the smaller rim with almost the same offset will give me more clerance as i currently have to run 1/4 spacers with my 295/60r20 trail grapplers on chrome clads to avoid rub at full lock.

Or will the smaller rim just cause the tire to bulge more and still require spacer
Clads i thing are 5.75 backspacing
Black oem is like 5.25

Thoughts

Anyone. Need options. How do the factory replicas hold up. For that price i might as go with an aftermarket wheel

typically the 20x8 rims can run the wider tires(12.5 wide) and not need spacers like the 20x9 rims.

pics of the ones you found on craigslist and price?

 

[skirider]

Got him on craigslist to 900 with tires and sensors used.
Dont really need tires.
700 for just rims maybe if he will seperate

Ebays are 800 roughly for replica and prob need new lugs

[quietpeen]

thanks. If you decide on them, check to make sure they are aluminum, not painted claddding. Also from what i have seen the black wheels from the express black edition rams are semi gloss - the ones in the link are flat or matte.

 

[skirider]

Ok. Yea i think the first gen of black rims in like 13 were matte.

Not sure if i like the matte
