Inexpensive "pre-runner" type wheels? Opinions?

[Johnnymac2k6]

I don't see a wheels and tires section, so i will leave this here. feel free to move it if i missed a section.

I'm looking for an aluminum set of wheels to go with my incoming fiberwerx fenders. I was curious what rims are out there for under $150 a pop that give the look without the ungodly expense.

something like these, all found out there in 5x5.5 pattern in 17 inch, and i assume the needed offsets are avail to kick me out 4 inches on just a leveling kit truck.

Really like the beadlock look on the ramrunner. but not shelling out that much money.

sorry to be a poser, but i'm not trying to build some desert monster...just want it to resemble one


any other cheap options i should consider?

I dont mind the round windows either, but the bead sim on the mickeys are a bit hokey

How much are the mopar beadlocks? I'm assuming crazy pricey since they say Mopar.

~$325 a piece

I get special pricing on top of that though

Not as bad as I thought honestly.

They do function as real beadlocks, not the fake ones like method so it is a fair price

It's their "street lock" version of the beadlock racing wheel they have. And they are in the ballpark of your price range. I was close to buying them for my Ram, but went with a set of Method's instead.

Well you normally see beadlocks on jeeps and vehicles that do a lot more offroading. I may be wrong but these were out before the rebel. They can still be used on a rebel I believe. But they are a little different from the oem rebel wheels.

Gotcha, They just looked similar, so wasn't sure if that was them or not.

Those are some good looking wheels. Does the first one have a chrome ring around it or is it like polished aluminum or something?

the first one is a gloss black finish with a polished lip.

the other one is all matte black. going for that ram-runner look w/o the 50K pricetag.lol

sim-lock wheels.

the mopar ones suggested were discontinued, and there are only 3 in the dealer network. plus more $ than i wanted to spend.

Raceline allied beadlocks arent that expensive..and they're real. Popular choice for the rock crawling guys that run stupid low psi. Seems like all the prerunners prefer method rims...

Im not an expert, but they're probably not popular because they suck.



Are you making a fake prerunner or a real one?
