Wheel issues and recommendations

ffeschjeff · Tuesday at 3:09 PM

So i bought my 2015 RAM 1500 big horn a few months ago and did not notice until i got down and dirty detailed the truck and found that my chrome clad wheels are peeling on 3 out of the 4...the dealer put brand new tires on before i bought it so i assume they didn't use a padded cup while balancing them...fast forward and the dealer wont do anything about it so i'm on my own.

Are there any repairs i can do? or should i just look into new wheels and if so what color wheel should i go with? i've attached pictures for reference.

Aside from strip and recoat, there's nothing (that I know of) to fix and save what's left. I despise all of the OEM 5 spokes so I personally would try to sell them while they are still in decent shape and get something I like more. If you like them, I'd just live with it.

I couldn't wait to get those of my truck, lol. Just fyi same color and see the difference with black rims, linex'd the bar. Mine below are after market skins if you wont to put a skin on it til you can get rims. Might have to just hammer the rough part flat.

I paid 78 bucks in 2014, now 130.

These are those exact rim skins, if it is a 20 inch rim and the 2018 has same lugs as the 2010, those will serve you for some years.

I agree the wheel skins are an inexpensive way to change up the look of your truck .

i'll look into both options selling what i got and skins. I saw the skin option on another thread i saw that skins wouldn't fit on my style wheel.
