OEM Rims

I am looking for a set of the 17X8 Chrome Steel wheels and caps for a 2500. Anyone know a good source for them? There is a set I am watching on a bidding web site but figured there maybe other sources or even a member with a set they may want to get rid of.

Thanks
Tom

That's probably the best place to find them. There's a set that's been up for auction a couple of times with no bids. I don't think the chrome clads are that popular..... Now if you want a set of alloys, have I got a set for you.....

Might I ask why you are looking for these rims?

I have those ugly 17X7.5 w/245's on them so I am looking for a replacement for them. I have looked at some aftermarket ones but I seem to like these chrome ones best for some reason so I figured I would just go this route. I am also going to be putting a set of 285's on these as well.

Got it!
Be careful if you put bigger tires on the chrome clads. Mine started cracking around the outer ring from the big tires putting pressure on it. That's why I went to the Alloy rims but then I met up with a friend driving a H2 w/ the huge rims and we started talking about his stock ones and now I have those on my truck. I prefer the chrome wheels also and I was pretty upset when mine started to crack. If you decide to go the alloy route let me know. Mine have almost new 315s on them..
