Would like to Paint Match 2019 Ram Limited Wheels!!

[dkmonster]

Anyone know how to remove the wheel inserts on the all new 2019 Ram 1500 limited 22 inch wheels? I would like to get them painted to match my Delmonico Pearl red color of my truck.

Those are not "inserts". It's paint, while the rest of the wheel is polished aluminum, and all of it clear-coated.
Any body shop or wheel place can strip and paint or powder-coat them any color your heart desires.

Cheers,

You bet. Post back once you get it done. Would love to see end result.

When I bought mine, I looked at two Longhorns, black and steel metallic. I originally thought they WERE color matched. Please
DO post pics if you do.

Another option is Fuel wheels. They make a red version of the ones on my truck.

That doesn't seem right to me. The option sheet for my truck literally says "22X9.0 Polish/Painted Whls w/Inserts" - So yes, they are painted, but they should be painted inserts. Now how easy they are to take off (if at all) is a different discussion, lol.

Have you tried prying them up, they may have tabs on the back that snap into the wheels.

Any good bodyshop should be able to just mask and paint without having to risk breaking them during removal.

That option is available on the Longhorns but I’ve never seen red

I read on a different forum there are 3 torx screws on the backside of the wheel that hold the inserts on and you have to remove the wheel to get to them. Didn’t see any pictures and haven’t had a chance to check things out so it’s completely unverified.

I had a set of these wheels and i dont remember seeing any screws on the back side of the wheel. my mind would be blown if this is true lol i wanna see the wheels with the insert removed.

Polished wheels with painted inserts, they are not removable. 1) I've removed my wheels and there's nothing there to remove them. 2) no gap around the edges 3) someone would've done it already if they were removeable.

Watching and waiting for photos of this!

Dodge/Ram has been making wheels with "inserts" for years. None of them have been removable as far as I know. This question came up with 4th gens, and now with 5th gens. They are not removable.

I believe they are removeable. At least the laramie wheels are. Mactara removed his laramie inserts. here is the thread

Does the Laramie 20' wheel chrome plastic wheel insert come off??

Anybody get these inserts out yet to see for sure whats holding them on??

You can remove them, but they are not meant to be removed. Like Mike mentioned, it’s easier to just have a shop tape and spray- There’s a high chance you will break or bend the inserts when removing them

 

[mikeru82]

I stand corrected, guess they are removable.

not meant to is for guys that like to pay to have everything done for them. What would be the point in having a forum if everything that was not meant to be removed/changed was left alone?
