        This is just one variation. We have another style wheel planned for release in the summer.

          Thanks Chris. I was just shocked to see 20" wheels on the 1500 when on the HD line up you're sticking to the 17" wheel (which is my personal preference).

          I still think it's a shame you don't offer a suspension for us "older" suspension guys. I would have been the first in line had a suspension been offered for my 2012.

            Will you be offering the parts individually in the future?

            I am ready to order some parts for my new 1500!

            Looks awesome!

              Is this something we can drop off our current trucks to have done?

                It's almost like these are a place holder, aren't these wheels sold by someone other than AEV?

                  Of course! Starting next month we will start offering Ram 1500 parts available for purchase individually. To stay in line with past vehicle line-ups, we offer the full conversions first and then parts will follow.

                  Yes this will be an option but it is dependent on the model year of your truck. If you are interested, give Jeff Clark a call at 248-926-0256 ext 217.

                    These are AEV 20" wheels for the Ram 1500. We will also be offering an 18" AEV wheel this summer for the Ram 1500. The 20" wheels are required to work with our suspension system.

                      Not sure if it's the same Ram but I saw this gem at the dealership this morning while getting an oil change. I almost left with it.

                          New from AEV - The RECRUIT

                          It is owned by AEV. The dealership wouldn't open it or lest me test drive. I am trying to get in touch with the local representative to be able to drive it. Deciding between this and a Prospector XL. I have a few messages floating around the interwebs to get to the right person.

                            The 18" wheels made their debut at Expo West.

                              i wish they would make a 20" wheel for the 8 lug, the big 17" tires just dont balance for SHAT and for those of us that are street only it would be awesome
