I did a search for different model Ram trucks and came up with this: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelClo ... r=Crew+Cab

I don't know if it's available or not though.

I wish they would publish load ratings - looks only get you so far...

It would be hard to beat the strength of our OEM wheels.

yeah, low pressure cast...what does that mean in comparison to strength?

Thanks for that.

Rusty, I agree, but it's hard when you can't afford beadlocks & live in a state where they HAVE to say DOT Approved on them or risk tickets every time you drive the truck.

I just want something that looks good & is 1 ton truck rated. I run 2 different sets of tires. Winter & summer. I HATE the Atlas winter rims i have now. I can actually feel them flex in hard turns. Those look much stronger than the 6 thin spokes on my Atlas. I bought them cause they were cheap. I had them on last truck for 4 winters & this truck for 9 winters, so they don't owe me anything.

Spoke to a guy at the gas station who just got a ticket for his LED light bar (54" curved, mounted just above the windshield glass), I asked if he had them turned on while on the road. He said no, got pulled over for speeding & saw he didn't have the lens covered while driving on the road. So, yeah, it is a reality around me, to think you will get a ticket for beadlocks that don't actually say DOT Approved on them.

I have these on my PW. http://centerlinewheels.com/wheels_deta ... sw_id=1079

They're rotary forged. http://centerlinewheels.com/technology.php

They're rated at 3200 lb. load rating per wheel w/ 44" max tire diameter.

Specs are 17x9 with 5.25" back spacing.

$344 each !!!

May as well go beadlock. I believe carrying two spare wheels and tires is a better alternative to using expensive wheels all around. I would rather have good cast wheels and two spares than good beadlock wheels and one spare. Cost-wise they are comparable. Forged always takes the win of the cost is reasonable, but they tend to be much more expensive.

That's cheap. I paid $1425 each for my Forgeline 19x12 rims, and 19x10 for my Nismo.

I cracked one of those on my Dakota.

Most cast wheels are rated between 3200 and 3600 lbs. The problem is they break instead of bending like a forged wheel.

I found some forged wheels that I really like...

... mine cost $38.5K for four, but they threw in a Power Wagon for free.

What? You cracked a Centerline wheel? Or a cast wheel. I've killed cast wheels on my '76 cheby.

Love my stock rims too. Don't plan on getting rid of them, ever. They have never seen a winter. Just needing something better than those Atlas wheels i have now for winter.

must be nice to be able to pay that ($1425.00 each) for a rim !

I cracked that specific Centerline wheel. To be fair, I think it was a defect. Centerline replaced the wheel. My point was that forged wheels are not panacea, if strength is a concern off road beadlocks should be used.

I sold my forged OE wheels and am now running cast. In a couple of years I'll buy beadlocks.

If I got rims again. It would be bed locks.

I've beat a couple of stock PW rims round again. Ask Peter. He bent a stock PW rim up pretty good. Eric too.

You could have bead lock rings fitted to your stock rims.

I had never heard of this until your post. Here is the website for a company that does it if anyone is interested: http://omfperformance.com/beadlocked_wheels.php

Personally, I prefer the stock wheel look, thought I may powdercoat one day for a different look.

Ian on xtreme 4x4 did that once on one of his shows.
