Got these new rims with new TPMS sensors installed today. Found them on eBay. These were new truck take offs from a 2018 Ram 1500. The wheels that these replaced were exactly the same...still in decent shape, but the chrome was starting to peel in spots, and one of the wheels had a small piece of chrome clad missing (was that way when I bought the truck last July). Truck doesn't look too shabby for a 10 year old Michigan truck!

Looks like you're keeping it in pretty nice shape, good job! If Michigan is anything like NY, and I'm sure it is, it's quite the accomplishment keeping something clean like that for a decade.

Yes, we are definitely in the "salt belt". Luckily for me, the PO hardly drove it in the winter.

Glad to see it! Hate seeing older trucks all rusted out up here, but makes seeing the preserved ones that much more special.

Truck looks great!! but those are the Express 20" package wheels. This is the sport wheels. Only saying i hope someone didnt sell you sport wheels which in fact they arent.

No, they did not sell them as sport wheels. They sold them as "Ram 1500 20x9 Chrome Clad Wheels". They are exactly like the wheels that came on my truck (2009 Ram 1500 Sport), which are what I wanted, thanks.

These are the newer sport wheels that came on the 2013 sports and up. The OP’s wheels were on the sport models through 2012 IIRC.
