eaglescout526 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 You know. For a NOS rim that’s a lot. But factory rims these days go for about that brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pago cruiser Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Since there's some wheel guys on here.... and since I started the post... a couple questions: The Ebay listing has a part # 5HP23TRMAB, and is described as polished and clear-coated. Jewelry, indeed. I picked up a beater set cheap a couple weeks ago, and the part # is the same 5HP23TRMAB. These appears painted, with some aluminum "sparkly" (almost metallic looking) , and then clear coated, 'cause some of the clear coat is yellowing. My local wheel repair place said they can "de-curb" and re-paint for about $100 each. I have seen another set for sale lately, and asked the seller to provide me with a pic of the part #; same # - 5HP23TRMAB; except he said they are painted, without clearcoat. I have not yet seen these. So; I had assumed that the part # cast into the wheel was representative of the factory finish? Obviously not? Maybe? Can anybody shed some light on this? 1st pic - ebay - polished, clearcoat. 2nd pic - painted, no clearcoat. 3rd pic - painted metalflake-ish then clearcoat.

eaglescout526 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I’ll shed some light but probably chances are Chrysler probably left the part number as a cast number after the original number stopped being what it used to be in the first run. Chances are the other two are different part numbers. Why spend more money to change a part number in a wheel when you can just run it and change the part number outside of the wheel?

fiatslug87 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The actual PN of the wheels Gjeep is selling is the 822xxx, on the box in his last picture. The 5HPxxx is the wheel casting number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pago cruiser Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Thanks for the info guys. Guess that would make sense about the casting number being the same for all (future) finishes. So unless you happen to have the box the wheel was shipped in, there is no way to determine the factory finish - except by inspection. Anybody know how many factory finishes there were/are? on the 2003 era Moabs? I think I am up to three: Polished, clearcoat Painted, no clearcoat Painted metalflake-ish, clearcoat.

acfortier Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 From the '06 TJ Parts Catalog: This looks like it's only one? Although something changed after 08-01-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
