Affordable Winter Wheels Setup: Ram 2363

[Riviot]

After scouring FB Marketplace for a few days I scored a set! Drove an hour to the Los Angeles area and picked them up from a guy who only spoke Spanish. Paid $450. Was listed for $500. I probably could have gotten him to $400 but he was a nice guy so I was fine with it. Google Translate was awesome lols.

They are on 275/60/R20 Michelin LTX AT2 tires with an M+S rating. Not sure of age or anything but I do know one of them has a hole in it. My intention is to replace them with something else, but I'll see what my options are.

3 wheels are good and one of them has a slightly scratched face. Debating if I want to spend money on powdercoating them. We'll see.

I'm not used to how large truck/SUV tires are (I've always been a sports car guy) so when I saw these in person I was shocked. Barely fit in the R1S since I had a baby seat in the 2nd row haha. But I made it fit.

Good karma for not haggling too hard, it'll come back for you.

Age: check for a 4 digit with YYWW, year year, week week. Manufactured today would be 2344. It might be on the back side. Either way, I'd replace them all and start fresh, you'll feel more confident. Are you going AT, AS, or snow?

Powdercoat: absolutely! Every time I look at mine I beam. Isn't there someone else here who's got a buddy with a shop near LA that powdercoats any shade of black for cheap? Bring a 6 pack and get it done!

Wow. Thank you @Riviot for the post! Really lots of useful information in this post.

I am convinced to also get the 2363 wheels and powder coat them like many of you did. I now have a hard time figuring out the correct version of the used wheels. Does the attached picture look right? Thank you everyone in advance!

Those look correct.

Yes, those look correct. But funny thing, mine doesn't have "2363" stamped anywhere. I do have a longer number (1DZsomething) that I saw referenced on this thread somewhere.

@Riviot - How close does the wheel get to the caliper on the front? Do you happen to have a picture?

 

[nezha]

Thank you @shamoo and @oskeei . Is this also correct?

 

[nezha]

I have a hard time figuring out the difference between the ones I saw with the version with more rounded spoke that OP said to be incorrect.

Those were questioned earlier in this thread, they will NOT work

The spoke thickness is the difference. The rounded spokes are thicker, and wont clear the caliper.

This is not the same.

Thank you @TollKeeper and thank you again @oskeei

I will try to grab the correct set.

Sucks doesnt it.. Those rounded spoke "Crager" style wheels would look cool I think. But alas, no bueno!

 

[Riviot]

^Correct!

^Incorrect

 

[TollKeeper]

See how the center cap pops out on the one you are lookin at, the spokes are also thicker, among a few other differences.

@Riviot - How close does the wheel get to the caliper on the front? Do you happen to have a picture?

19/32" or 15mm. Honestly, it's much more space than I thought.

This is the option I went with which gets you the rims powder coated with 20” tires (and possibly tpms if they have rivian compatible ones now which they did not last year). Not the cheapest way, but easier than scouring for used rims and powder coating yourself.
