I think #2 wheels are hot! The first set are cool, but the second set have a race and luxury balance.

the third option is an alternative but that depends on whether you are looking to make your ride more of a head turner or a racer.

My thoughts...
I think I am going with the first color option, the brushed w/polished lip. What I am thinking is get them here, and if I don't like the brushed, I can always get them powder coated locally. If I go with one of the darker color options, I can never make them "brushed". Besides, I already have a "blacked out Charger"!

One thing to consider, the dark color option screams high class, exotic performance. It turns the whole cars attitude around.

Nice Photo shop! Now if you make go into my gallery and make one using my car I will let you know how much they are. Just Kidding. These retail for right at $1,000 per wheel depending on the finish. You can email DPE for the dealer nearest you.

Well here is your ride!

Scott,

My 225's are not wide enough for my 8.5 front rim and yours may be better with 8 inch but it would be a real shame to put a nick on the side of the rim. On my rear, 275's are not enough to protect the rim either. Maybe 285's will be better there. I am not sure why the previous owner of my rims went with the size tire he did but unfortunately, I have numerous dings due to no rim protection.

Can't wait to see them.

Steve

235/35/19 and 295/30/20? Has anyone seen this set up? I would like the rears as wide as possible. I see that Bones Enterprises on Ebay has the 235/35/19 on and 8.5" wheel and the 295/30/20 on a 10" for the Crossfire....It must work!

If there is no dealer in the area that has an agreement for the distribution, then the manufacturer could hypothetically sell them at wholesale~ Thank goodness there are no dealers in Dallas/Ft. Worth!

LOL! Somebody over here has to actually TAKE money out of the Middle East and just not send it. I can thank a fine group of boys in Kuwait for these wheels and they got the rights to develop a few cookie stores in the heat!

I have 19 x 10 with et of 32 and the tires are 225/35/19 Front and 20 x 10 with et of 25 with 275/30/20. I have tiny bit of wheel well rubbing in the rear on large bumps, but that is all.
