Need advice!

After looking around, I am trying to determine if I should purchase replica Gunmetal rims, or if i should powdercoat my OEM rims. I plan on keeping the truck for a very long time, so should i sell my OEM, and buy replica's? Or should I just powdercoat my OEM's? OR should I keep the OEM's in the garage and buy new Gunmetal Replicas?:dontknow::dontknow::dontknow:

Just powdercoat your wheels.

I thought the OEM were worth so much more...?

The oems are worth more, I would keep the originals if you plan on keeping your truck for a long time, IMO these truck will be worth a lot in the distant future, with a 3 year build and less than 10,000 made, they will go up in value over time, just like the mopars from the late 60's and 70's. If it were me I would buy new rims, and keep the oems, or just paint the originals.

I cracked a rim when I first bought the truck, went to the dealership about buying 1 factory 22" night runner rim, $1250!!! For 1!!! And only 3 dealers had them in stock in the whole us!

So hang on to the orig, check!

If you plan on paying it off and keeping it, then yes, but if you don't then I would say what ever is going to save you the most money! But that price was from the stealership, everything is marked up super high, I'm sure you could find 4 oem rims on Craig's list for under $1000.

Whatever is cheapest. If you are always going to be worried about what the truck will be worth in the future you will never enjoy it, drain the fluids and put it on jack stands in a climate controlled garage.

+1. Its your truck and it sounds like you bought it to drive and enjoy, not sit in a garage in hopes it becomes collectable.
