E-Bay is probably your best bet unless you can find someone selling a used set on one of the Dodge boards.
Otherwise you can buy them new for $160 at any Dodge Dealership via the Mopar Accessory Catalog (not via service parts - they jack up the price to over $300-500 per rim), and some dealerships have been known to discount down to $125/rim.

When you figure in shipping it's worth it to just get them from the dealership. I bought mine on ebay and didn't save as much as I though. Expect to pay at least 500 bucks if not 600 for them. The tires will whack you too, don't forget that. I HIGHLY recommend the dunlop sport rover gtx II tires. If you buy them from NTB you get a 50k mile warranty and the tread pattern is bad ass. I'm on my second set.

Be friends with people who own R/Ts. They usually get rid of them eventually. I got lucky. While calling dealers I got a Parts Manager who just happened to be selling his.

beleive it or not, I do not know anybody who has a R/T. I know people who have Vipers, Porsches of any kind, Shelby Cobras, Hummers, Ferarris, and other exotics but yet I know nobody with a Dakota R/T, kind of strange. I want to trade my 16X8 Dakota wheels for the R/T wheels, I know I am going to have to pay extra but it will be worth every cent. I talked to the "Largest Mopar distributor in the World" and they told me I would have to cough up $600 for each wheel individually without tires. So that means I would have to pay $2400 just for wheels then I would have to buy new tires. They said that Dodge wants the R/T wheels to be for the Dakota R/Ts only and no other vehicle.

That's BS. I just ordered mine from my local Dodge dealer (Frahm Dodge in Norco, CA) for $138 each. And a couple yers ago i ordered SS/T rims for my Ram for about $160 each from the same dealer.
There are two parts codes, one is like $500 each and the other for $150 each (I got a discount). Just let your parts guy at the dealer know and have him look it up if he doesn't already know wbout it.

Dealers absolutely rape consumers with the markup on service parts, and the R/T rims are an excellent example of that. You have to order the rims from the Mopar Accessories Catalog to get the $160 (or less - some dealerships offer discounts on catalog merchandise, people have reported as low as $125) price per painted R/T rim. If you order it through the parts department as a service replacement they gouge you for $500-600 per rim for the same exact product.

My local dealer was looking at selling them to me for 130/Rim brand new. Not bad, but I bought used ones.
Yeah, you can get them for 125-140 pretty easy, just call around and tell them the price you're looking for. If the parts manager wants to sell a set of rims, he will bring the price down. If not, his loss.

i have found three people that will sell them with tires for really cheap. One is charging $450 for hardly used wheels with tires and then I found another person who has racing slicks on his and he is selling 5 wheels all with tires for $500. Another person I talked to today at Advance Auto Parts and he would sell me his when he gets new wheels.

That guy e-mailed me back and I am defiantly going to buy his 5 wheels, if you want I will sell you one if it does not fit where my spare wheel is, or if you want I will just sell it to you. I will only have one spare, I am going to have to convence my parents to let me buy the wheels in the first place because it will be costing me the same amount of one one of my paychecks. It might be a week or two before the wheels are even shipped and when I get them I will let you know first thing.

If any one has any silver R/T wheels, let me know because the ones I am buying will be in chrome and i want silver. So if you have 4 silver wheels (Aftermarket, OEM, stock) then let me know and we can talk about a trade. The five that one guy e-mailed me back about sold his and some how a miracle happened and my step-fathers sister's husband is getting me 4 chrome wheels for $750 with used tires.
