One of my rims has a small dent in it. I don't want to spend $300 for a new wheel. Can I remove the chrome (clad) cover off of the bent one and attach it to the spare? 2016 Ram 2500 4WD

As far as I know, they are permanently glued on and cannot be removed.

There is a you tube video showing how to detach the cladding. They are supposedly clipped and double face taped onto the wheel. Detaching looks like a very delicate process.

It's a pain in the ass to remove and I don't think your spare tire rim is the same style of rim that it would even work.... keep an eye out on Craigslist cuz they are always for sale cheap on there.

I’ve taken my chrome clad wheels off and it was a pain in the ass you definitely can’t reuse the clad when your done plus there’s no way to restock it once you get it off that’s it and spare tires and are chrome clad wheels there just regular steel wheel

Might want to use this time to upgrade your wheels.

Btw, I’ll be selling my sport wheels/tires/sensors ;)

Spare is a 17" steel rim with a higher profile tire to match the 20's.
