Another option is get on Craigslist and look at takeoff sets from the newer Rams. There's a huge selection typically of 18s and 20s brand new. You'll get the little bigger OD with the bigger rims/tires and have a better tire selection next time you need tires compared to the 17s.....and a fresh look.
$1000 will get you a set of new OE tires (not the greatest) and rims.
