They look good....be careful of curbs and potholes. I would be terrified to drive those on the roads where I live. LOL.

 

I am not a real bug wheel fan myself but it looks like they fill up the wheelwells very nicely.



P.S. vegas22 are you in vegas or did you just pick that Post sig at random. I live in North Las Vegas off Ann Rd.

The look like a clone of the 20" SRT wheels. Are they also forged or cast?

What was the price?

 

they are cast one piece 22 inch x 9.5 inch just like original but does not have "alcoa forged" or "srt8" on the lip

base price was $995
i paid extra for the custom paint
you can call 661 294 0170 and ask for blaine

 

To each his own I guess... but I'd pass.

 

Yes, you can have too much black. IMHO.

 

Well, casted wheels are a great deal heavier than forged aluminum. As a styling statement, you car looks pretty cool and very Sinister. Keep in mind that wheels that big and heavy generate a lot of force that gets transmitted into the supension and mounting points with every bump and hole you hit. Keep them balanced and your alignment in check because they will accelerate the wear on your car. I also wouldn't be real heavy on the go pedal. You are throwing a lot of torque down your drive line to move wheels and tires that aren't as easy to spin. Something has got to give so go easy on them. I'm not poo-poo'ing your wheels. I'm just passing on lessons I have learned from putting 22's on my truck. I have gone through 3 power steering racks but fortunately the 4.7 is not strong enough to over stress the rest. I'm looking to replace the casted chrome wheels on my truck with polished, forged aluminum. They aren't cheap, though.

Just respect the trade-off of sporting big wheels. You loose performance capability to gain curb appeal.

 

Not to mention that forged wheels are much stronger then a cast wheel. I've seen cast wheels tear apart under high torque loads. Not a pretty sight.
