I dont think I would get those. I dont like how the spokes stick out on the edge of the rim. Looks like they are just stuck on there. The Nagoro's or Petrol 5 spokes are very close to those only they look much better. Or the Sterns that Tashspop(?) just got are nice also.

The fact is, the only opinion that counts is yours. If you like them, then keep them. That's the nice thing about cars, we can personalize them to suit our tastes. With that said, I like the look.

$1,125 out the door, included installation kit, new TPMS valve stems, and tax, came with lug bolts that have there own tamper proof socket, conventional or metric sockets will not fit these lug bolts. So hopefully not so easy to steal. From believe it or not, Discount Tire.

I really like them. It's so hard to find a clean looking 5 or 6 spoke deisgn without the "Beadlook" appearance or all the "bling-bling" spinners and crap.

I'm not into the whole "Pimp my ride" scene.

I may have to copy....

I like them! What size are they? The do not look staggered so I'm guessing they are the same front and rear?

Those wheels are very nice.
Now would be a good time to install a set of lowering springs to complete the look.

I dont suppose we could get you to weigh those for us? I've had a hell of a time finding a set of rims that both look better than stock and weigh less. If it doesn't meet both criteria I wont buy them. That's just my $.02 on aftermarket rims.

True statement. After I had the ebay (from a 2006 lmt roadster rims painted and put on my daughters SRT, I really wasn't crazy about the look. When I told her I was going to put the originals back on she asked me not to because she liked them and it made the car relly stand out. What are you gonna do. They are still on the car and now I have a set of reconditioned rims and tires sitting at my office. Guess I've got a spare if I get a flat.

Yeah, they look IDENTICAL to the SRT8 rims.. I don't think anything really beats the factory wheels on these cars to be honest...
