Thinking about switching my sport rims to the black ones

Gregdad · Feb 1, 2019

I put the black decals on my sport rims. Gives it a different look and breaks up the chrome a bit.

Looks good, but I'm looking to have completely black sport rims and emblems.

Anyone know anything about this company? they sell what they call "OEM" black sport rims for around $1000 for a set of 4. Are these cheap chinese knockoffs or good wheels?

I won't plastic dip them I'm too ocd. Leaving my truck with no wheels for a week to powder coat is not an option for me.

not if his OCD is anything like my OCD. 4 wheels and one, two or three mismatched wheels. makes me shudder with anxiousness just thinking about it

LOL

Better to do them all at once to prevent a bad color match. Also with the turnaround time at most shops it could take an aweful long time to do it that way and they may charge you more to do 1 at a time vs 4 at once. Could pick up a set of winter wheels if you're in an area that has a winter and do the powder coat during the winter months so they're ready for summer. If you buy them used for a fair price you should be able to sell them for the same money a few months later.

Been knocking around the idea of finding some black sport rims, my son says plastic dip mine, but not sure that would be my thing.Also I live on a dirt road so they won't stay shiny, my rims don't show the dirt too bad, any thoughts? I don't want to do after market, love the 2019 Rebel rims, but the are 6 lug and 18's.

It comes down to personal preference. I am not a fan of plasti dip. At least not on big parts etc. It always reminds me of some high school kid with no money trying to personalize their ghetto ride lol. I'm too old for it I guess. Go buy a can of it and spray something and see what you think of it.

I live in Florida, so no winter wheels, still watching the for sale ads.

Good luck. That’s as good a deal as you’ll ever get. I paid similar price for just rims, and I shopped forever.

Well, he's about 6 hours north of me, so about a 12 hour drive, not sure I have the time to get them, but considering it.

Ram Night · Feb 7, 2019

I would skip the dip paints, and do it right by getting them painted or purchase a black set. Black rims look great.

norton333 · Feb 8, 2019

Have a set on the way, they do look great, nice truck!

norton333 · Feb 19, 2019

Progress report, the black sport wheels should be here by the end of the week, in the mean time I removed all chrome emblems and replaced with black.The only chrome left are the RAM head badges, I'm on the fence with those, the all black ones look like blobs to me.

norton333 · Feb 22, 2019

New black sport wheels are on, I'm really liking the change.

norton333 · Feb 22, 2019

only issue is the balancing weights are silver and stick out like a sore thumb, guess I need to paint them black.

Dinky · Feb 22, 2019

I have some silver one I am taking off and going with a different wheel. I'll powder coat them black and sell then to you lol.

Dinky · Feb 22, 2019

I'll be selling those next month with the tires. If interested in just the wheels shoot me a offer. It's like $40 to ship one wheel.
