Default RE: 22 INCH SRT8 RIMS !

That eleven pounds equals right at 1/5th the weight of one stock wheel/tire/sensor total weight. That's what's been added at each corner. That is a lot when it is spinning. Especially when you consider that forged wheels have the metal more evenly distributed through out the wheel which makes it inherently more of a balanced package. The metal used in casting can have varying thicknesses which is why most cast wheels use A LOT of balancing weights relative to forged.

Think of it this way, 22" cast wheels are not designed to be performance application. They make your car look great. Show it. Cruise it. Love it. Keep them balanced and aligned and that baby will be fine. Just do not treat it like a race car.

the 22 inch wheels are just slightly heavier

my stock srt8 wheel/tires/sensors were 57lbs

the new 22s with tires and sensors were 66lbs so not much of a difference
