I need ONE rim! ONE RIM! $180+ for a machined/gray 17" OEM (#3554A)



Fairly new tires with only a few thousand miles on them. The ONLY salvage yard that has one has this (#3554A)



Hopefully the face of the rim matches even if the color/finish does not. Because if the faces match (which I doubt they do and they don't look like they do), I'm painting the damn things tonight. Bright Red Screw with Silver two-tone. What colors do you suggest? Black?

 

bright red? (ptm) black looks cool, but lots of them out there.

 

It's the exact same wheel just a different finish. Too bad you are not local I have four of those like you need setting in my garage collecting dust. Would need to see pictures of your truck to make a good decision on color.

 

How much do you want for them? I'm not paying for the dust though. Do I get them for free if I drive down tonight from West Virginia and clear up all that free space?

 

Not MY truck, but a pic I found online that matches it exactly

 

I might say yes just to see if you would do it?

Well I'd probably take $250 for all four but shipping is probably out of the question because they have the original tires still on them. Got the center caps too but no lugs.

If your truck has the silver two tone and chrome bumpers I would not paint the wheels black unless your are planning on blacking out the reast of the truck. I would say silver to match your two tone but you would end up with looking like the stockers in the pic.

sent you a PM

 

IMO I think two tone grey would be first choice, second would be grey/black two tone!

 

I got the silver rim installed so we can safely use the truck. Is the machined rim considered a higher/better level of rim vs the painted? I keep finding them for the same price. My wife likes the original machined version, but all the guys in the neighborhood think the painted silver looks better with the lower half of the truck being silver as well. What's your opinion?

 

The wheels are identical structural wise just the finished product looks different. The machined wheel was considered an upgrade on the XLT. Personally I like the machined wheel looks better but I get what you are saying about the silver matching your paint. Maybe have the dark grey in the machined wheel painted silver? I've seen it painted black on some trucks and that looked good.

 

I have NO digital camera - 1 is broken and nothing on BlackBerry - but I painted them all silver. I used the Duplicolor silver from Advance Auto and they look great. But you'll have to take my word for it.
