That look is perfect for the black car !! I'm with Cuda340 though. I won't have money for extra goodies .Doing well to get the car.
Also, I'm pretty content with the aluminum , on the Hemi-Orange !!

Talking Re: Who plans to swap out their wheels?

I want to get the deepest off-set possible in a 10 in wheel. What would be the widest tire you could fit, and still be able to lower the car about 1 inch??

You guys getting 08/09's need to hurry up and get your wheels, so i know what measurements I will be looking for in 2010!

Re: Who plans to swap out their wheels?

I meet try out my 22" high performance tires and rims. I had them on my Dodge 05 Magnum and my Dodge Daytona go-mango charger 06, they stood out and got alot of attention. So will try them on my 08 hemi orange challenger.

I oredered a 09 R/T Challenger with the base 18x7.5 aluminum wheels with plans to upgrade them down the road. I didn't really like 22" wheels until I saw the 22" Cragar SS wheels on line and may opt for those.

Re: Who plans to swap out their wheels?

I was amazed how well my car handled when I put on the 22" tires and rims. I really thought the ride was going to be bumpy and rough. I was wrong the car handle nice on turns and traction, I was able to race around turns. I first tried them on my 05 magnum and when I traded it in for my 06 Daytona Charger it was a blast. So I think I will try them on the 08 Challenger. I paid almost $3.000.00 for them so I will kick off the dust on them.

Re: Who plans to swap out their wheels?

If I could get the concept's wheels I would get those. Aside from that I haven't seen anything that catches my eye. Most of the options I see are way too 'bling bling'. I want something that melds with the car's appearance and doesn't draw attention directly to the wheels.

Re: Who plans to swap out their wheels?

i love the wheels on the concept, and other than the original SRT rims, that would be my choice. I kind of like those foose, but i wonder if their 18''s would fit over the brembos in the front?
