Why Choose OEM Chrysler Rims Over Aftermarket Options?
OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer. These are the same wheels that came on your Chrysler from the factory.
Here's what makes OEM wheels worth every penny:
Perfect Fit Every Time: Your Chrysler 300 replacement wheels match the exact 5x115 bolt pattern. No wobbling, no vibration – just smooth driving.
Superior Quality: Factory-grade materials resist corrosion better than many cheap aftermarket alternatives. Your investment lasts longer.
Maintained Warranty: OEM parts keep your vehicle warranty intact.
Resale Value: OEM wheels maintain your car's value better than aftermarket options.
Understanding Your Chrysler's 5x115 Bolt Pattern
Every Chrysler 300 uses a 5x115 bolt pattern. This means five bolts spaced 115mm apart in a circle.
Chrysler Model | Bolt Pattern | Compatibility |
---|---|---|
Chrysler 300 (all years) | 5x115 | ✓ Compatible |
Chrysler 300C | 5x115 | ✓ Compatible |
Chrysler 300 SRT | 5x115 | ✓ Compatible |
Pro tip: Always verify your year and trim before ordering. Some special editions have unique specifications.

How to Choose the Right Chrysler Rims for Your Needs
Start with your driving style. Do you prioritize comfort, performance, or appearance?
Consider your environment. City driving needs different wheels than highway cruising.
Match your trim level. Base models and SRT versions have different wheel requirements.
Performance Driving
Choose 20-inch Chrysler 300 rims for better handling and braking. Larger wheels provide more contact with the road.
Comfort Driving
Stick with 19-inch wheels for a smoother ride. More tire sidewall absorbs road imperfections better.
All-Weather Use
Satin black finishes may hide dirt and salt stains better than gloss or silver options.
OEM vs Aftermarket: What's Really Best for Your Chrysler?
OEM wheels cost more upfront but save money long-term. Here's the honest truth about both options:
Feature | OEM Wheels | Custom Wheels |
---|---|---|
Factory Specifications | ✓ Exact match | ⚠ May vary |
Material Quality | ✓ Premium materials | ⚠ Varies by brand |
Warranty Coverage | ✓ Maintains warranty | ✗ May void warranty |
Initial Cost | Higher | ✓ Lower |
Style Options | Limited by factory | ✓ More variety |
Our recommendation: Choose OEM for daily drivers and family vehicles. Consider aftermarket only for show cars or track vehicles.
Installation Guide for Chrysler 300 Rims
Proper installation prevents costly damage. Follow these essential steps:
Tools You'll Need:
- Torque wrench (essential for proper tightening)
- Jack and jack stands
- Lug wrench
- Thread locker (recommended)
Torque Specifications:
- Chrysler 300: 110 ft-lbs (176 Nm)
- Chrysler 300 SRT: 110 ft-lbs (176 Nm)
- Always retorque after 50 miles
Pro tip: Hand-tighten lug nuts in a star pattern first. Then use the torque wrench for final tightening.
Never skip the retorque step. New wheels settle after initial driving.
Caring for Your Black Gloss Chrysler Rims
Black wheels show everything. But proper care keeps them looking showroom fresh.
Weekly cleaning: Use regular soapy water or pH-neutral wheel cleaner and microfiber cloths. Harsh chemicals damage protective coatings.
Brake dust removal: Clean brake dust immediately. It etches into the finish if left too long.
Winter protection: Apply wheel wax before salt season. Wash weekly during winter months.
Storage tips: Store removed wheels vertically or use tire racks. We don't recommend to stack wheels directly on top of each other.
What Size Rims Come on a Chrysler 300?
Factory wheel sizes depend on your trim level:
Trim Level | Wheel Size | Best For |
---|---|---|
Base 300 | 17-inch wheels | Comfort, fuel economy |
300 Touring | 18-inch wheels | Balanced performance |
300 Limited | 19-inch wheels | Style and handling |
300 SRT | 20-inch wheels | Maximum performance |
You can upgrade wheel size, but stay within one size of factory specs. Bigger wheels mean lower-profile tires and a harsher ride.
Do Chrysler 300 Rims Fit Other Chrysler Models?
No, most Chrysler vehicles share the 5x115 bolt pattern. Your Chrysler 300 wheels also fit some Dodge models:
- Dodge Challenger
- Dodge Charger
Always verify offset and clearance. Same bolt pattern doesn't guarantee perfect fit for all applications.
