Default SRT Guys - How many with aftermarket wheels?

How many of you SRT guys have aftermarket wheels?

Post a pic, tell the size and offset, and tire size.

I'm thinking about getting a set so I can put a little wider tire on the back.

A 275 will fit back there on the stock wheels. I don't think I would want anything bigger than that. If you want them to match the wheel opening a little better, get a set of 10mm spacers.

I for one am going to keep my factory wheels and I want to have just the center spoke area painted Aero Blue to match, and keep the machined lip. I think that will look hot! I got the idea from a Bentley Conti GT I saw on Unique Whips... BLING BLING!

Looks good, but not different enough from stock for me to spend 4 grand. I'm sure they'll look good though. It might be cheaper to have the stock wheels chromed... hmmm.

I priced getting mine chromed, the quote was $795 for all four + $115 shipping and they said 3 to 4 weeks turn around time. I got the info to contact them off the forum: The Chrome Wheel Co.

Yea it probably would of been cheaper, but My stock rims were pretty banged up so i would want them perfect and would have to purchase another set anyways besides I am not sure about the whole chroming process.

I think I will keep the stock rims too. Those steel chrome wheels are a lot heavier than stock SRT rims. {I believe}.
With rotex gold pads, I only need to wipe the rims down maybe once a week...

I like those Octane wheels...very nice.

I may just upgrade the rear tires...as they will be worn out pretty quick as it is.

I'm just not sure how wide I want to go on that stock wheel. I wonder what it would cost to have the stock wheels widened?

Those wheels are chrome, forged aluminum wheels. Definitely not steel. I don't think I've ever seen a custom steel wheel except maybe for a classic restored vehicle or a hotrod.
