Yeah man- his car is my all time favorite SRT6! I would love to do those wheels but worry about the amount of rubber. The tires, stock, are pretty low profile- those tires look practically painted on.

How does it ride with 20's in the rear and 19's in the front? I would, of course, lower it at the same time.

I have the stock shocks and would say that is not much worse than stock. I hear the Koni's make the ride better than stock even with the 19s & 20s.

My rims are pushed out about as far as they can go without needing to roll the fenders. I thought about adding a 3mm or 5mm spacer just to see if it would stop the slight rub on the inside, and not cause the rub on the outside fender. The rub is so slight and only happens once a month or so....it has not been real high on my list to correct.

I actually wish my sat a bit lower.....

That was a pretty descriptive post Doc!


Oh ya....just to stay on track......I never liked the Millennium wheels 'till I saw them in person.....then I changed my mind!

My favorites were the ones on what's-his-name's-car-that's-not-here-anymore (sorry Doc, had to do it), Irwin's car. I think they were Verde Kaos?


From Irwin's gallery.......

Doc was talking about my old girl, 20s all around.

And yeah, I still think Irwin's 20 and 22 setup was the meanest looking of all, but 20 is bad enough for my daily driver, I can not imagine 22s in the rear.



Not very fun to clean, but look second to none when they are.

Also, before I catch any ****, I know I need to lower it, but there are a lot of issues with larger wheels and lowering. Anyone have any SRT springs they want to sell a lowly NA guy???

Those look really good, but it just seems to be missing some of the
natural aggressivness without the staggered sizes. I wouldn't think it
would be a problem to get those as 18" front and 19" back. That is
a lot of spokes to clean, though. I bet they look realy good when they
are spinning at high speeds.

Thanks for sharing,

Coyote

Thanks, and trust me, pictures do not do them justice. The wheels are staggered, but in width only. They are 8" in the front and 10.5" in the rear (with a 4" lip ) gives it an awefully mean stance from the back and Tom will tell you, they bite like a dream going through the Dragon

If you do not want to be cleaning rims everyday, I would HIGHLY recommend new pads, worth every penny IMO

Yeah, the pads can make a hell of a difference. I switched to Rotex
Gold pads a while back, and I've been quite happy with the reduction in
the amount of brake dust that builds up. So, can you post a shot from
the rear of the car, showing off that tire width? BTW, what size tires
are you running on those 10.5" rims?

Good call on the pads, I wised up before the last Dragon and have not looked back, the stainless lines and dot4 fluid make a HUGE difference in pedal feel as well. The rear tire is actually 11" wide, I am running Falken 452s 275/30-20 in the rear. A picture for you to see.....



There are so many options in wheels it can make your head spin, keep looking and asking around and eventually you will find the perfect ones. As soon as you find them, I fully expect to see pictures

WEEKEND IS HERE!!!

I would certainly like the look of the SLR rims. When I was browsing the
websites of the major wheel vendors, I was looking for something that
had that look, as I'd consider that a very viable choice. The SLR rims
are pretty awesome.

Wow, $529 a set. That's pretty awesome on price, but makes me wonder.
These look like the stock SLR rims, and look might fine on the cars they
show in the pics. Those would look fantastic on a SRT-6, I think. Just
wonder if there is a way to replace that center cap. Thanks for sharing
the link.
