Front wheel cover/simulator/skin/hubcap for my dually

[leon]

I'm missing my front wheel cover for my 1999 3500 dually and can't seem to find one anywhere on the web.  Sites are full of after market, one piece wheel cover and lug center cap, but no OEM replacement. One local stealership wants $500 and another $380! 

Anybody got any suggestions?

I don't know.... @dripley @IBMobile are all about hub caps, I usually throw them away. For some reason I can't stand hubcaps. I do like a nice set of rims like Im using now are of a 2012 can't believe people sell them somewhat cheap to get some junk aftermarket ones just to have them go to crap in a few years, and if you ever need to just get one good luck, unlike factory. Plus the whole weight rating. Sorry can't help.

I see them for my 02 on craigs list here and there. Seen them on ebay also. Gave up on my oe rims after the 5th one cracked.

Where does it usually crack, do you use torque wrench.

I got my center cap replacements from Summit and they matched the original 99 assuming I had originals.

Mine have cracked from the bead down into the barrell of the rim. Lugs are tjghtened with a torque wrench 95% of the time. @Dieselfuture

I have a small crate full of hub caps but none are for a Dodge truck.

You're gonna pay out the nose to have the ram logo on there.  Most aftermarket units are blank to avoid the licensing fees.  When I had my ford, I got a set of alcoas for it with no caps.  I went to a place called Hubcap Annies and paid less for 4 blank aftermarket caps than I would have for one cap with a ford logo on it.  Other than the missing logo, they were identical.  They actually worked better too as they had a metal retaining ring instead of plastic like OEM.  I'm not sure about the dodge ones, but something to consider.

I should clarify, it seems the center cap is available with the Ram emblem.  The simulator/skin/hub cap/wheel cover (I've learned all these names are applicable!) for my dually is non existent unless I pat the stealership $380!!

I was hoping there was an alternative.

I see, you are right, I can't find the 2 piece Ram style cover either, just the generic one piece deals.  I found the 2 piece version for the 17" Ram dually wheels, but not the 16's.

After losing 3 of the 4 wheels on my truck to cracking I sold the hub caps a while back to a forum member. I'm now on factory steel chrome 16x7 wheels with hub caps again.  One ton is a different animal like most have said they typically get toss to the way side.
