I've been HEAVILY considering this one as well... in white, of course. If you stay close to factory sizes, you can get a full set for roughly $1,200. Not unreasonable at all.

I like it because the spokes aren't as curved as the Snetterton, and there are no fake bolts around the border. It's simply a nice, clean wheel.

those rims look cool but i would go with a white, black, or gold cause the silver will look almost identical to the srt6 stock rims

Looks like they may be easier to clean also.

Those TSW's are nice looking wheels but aren't they a little 'close' to the 15 spoke stock rims? I mean, would your neighbor guy (who claims to be a car guy ) even notice if you change a stock SRT6 set out for the TSW's?

BTW what are the stock wheel offsets? I searched and the sticky wheel tire info thread lists the rear as +22. Is that a typo? Should they be 42, or 40 or? I'd like to get a couple extra rears for some slicks

offset 32 mm

Don't know if he would notice or not but when I get them on I'll bet everyone on this forum will notice the difference

if you want to run slicks, myself and many others are using the 90's era clk rims from m/b. they weigh in at 14 lbs and you can run hoosier mt or goodyear dr's which are sticky enough to trash the rear diffs!!

part# a2084010002 on the rims. look at craigslist. they are super cheap

Howard,
Those are nice but they still have too many spokes..... I would like a nice 5 spoke like the Vairano's.... alas, they want me to give them money for them..........

I agree! I like the gold and look of them. 6 wheels are killing me esp cleaning the yellow calipers. It's hard to reach up in there.

The Crossfire offsets are:
+35mm front and
+22mm rear.

Those 255's in the front are going to be pretty close to the upper nut, aren't they?

Be sure. Have you used this tool?

Custom wheels, car rims, truck wheels - WWW.RIMSNTIRES.COM

Load the OEM data in the left panel and the new setup data in the right. Clearances and other info comes up below.

You'll have to do separate ones for the front and back.

You can save your setups too. Very handy, that!

Spacers needed?

Don't want to be a downer, but...

BTW-those are some nice looking wheels. Very nice!

Thanks for bringing that to my attention Max I'll revisit that setup a little closer
