You’re right! The aesthetic is definitely part of the appeal. Who needs a smooth ride when you have style? Just kidding, ride quality matters too.
I ended up going back to 18 inch rims. The 20s looked great but the ride was too harsh for my daily drives. Sometimes practicality just wins out over looks!
That totally makes sense! Ride comfort is so important, especially for daily drives. It’s like having a performance car on bumpy roads!
20 inch rims might add to the cool factor, but do you really want to deal with potential bent rims from potholes? Just a thought!

Haha, good point! My rims could take a hit, but I also dodge potholes like I’m in an action movie. Gotta keep them intact!
Hey everyone! I’ve been looking for used 20 inch rims for my Dodge Ram 1500 too! Any recommendations on where to look?
Check out Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I’ve scored some great deals on used rims there. Just be sure to check the seller’s reviews!
I’ve had luck at local junkyards! You can often negotiate the price, too. Don’t forget to bring a tape measure to ensure they fit correctly.
Great suggestion! I’d also add eBay to the list. You can often filter for local sellers to avoid shipping costs.

Good to know! I’m concerned about scams, though. What should I be watching out for?
Always ask for pictures from multiple angles and don’t wire money upfront. Try to meet in public places where you can easily walk away if something seems off.
I’ve found that calling local tire shops can yield surprises! They sometimes sell used rims they’ve replaced for their customers.
Always trust your instincts! If it feels too good to be true, it probably is. Also, inspect the rims for any damage before buying.
Funny you said that! I once bought a set online that were rusty right out of the box. Lesson learned! Now I only buy in person.
Yikes! That sounds frustrating. I tend to stick to reputable places to avoid that kind of headache.

In all seriousness, don’t be afraid to haggle! Many sellers expect it. Just be polite, and you might end up with a great deal!
Thanks, everyone! I appreciate all your tips. I’ll definitely check out those places and be cautious when buying!
