Thank you, Pat, that is exactly what I was going for. This is the reason I did not paint my factory wheels black, it takes that 'pop' away. The OEM wheels do not have the same intense pop as the all chrome, staggered 20's, but they still look good

What do you guys think of these? I think they are pretty nasty looking.

Those wheels are nice. Plus there only $199 a wheel. And that's for 20 inch. Any one good at Photoshop wanna put these on a car?

Here is a quick photoshop job with the wheels. I love them on both the black and graphite!! These may be in my future.

Talking Re: Wheels

How about this Schott Crossfire? Not sure about the SRT crowd but they could be a viable alternative to the standard wheels for folks who don't want to get all urban and $#!t

They do have some more rims for retro lovers...

Jesus, that is a clean wheel for sure. Anyone photoshop one of these? I suspect with the lip and everything, it may be a little more difficult...

I spoke to a guy at Schott and I believe they will make these wheels to your specs. Yes JC these are also on my "radar" too. Between them and some Coddingtons. Will have to see how things go in the first quarter.

These are very beautiful wheels! And how many to stand the such? And what radius of wheels?

$595 from here.

There are others who can do better I'm sure, but they're not on line.

Many more sizes and widths than comparable Coddington or Foose rims.

I'd suspect the offsets and bolt circles are changeable, too.

The key is to take good measurements and work closely with the dealer and manufacturer.
