need some help/advice on new rims

phillybluntskii · 02-25-2013, 03:18 PM

im driving an 06 300 limited and am looking into getting new rims for it soon. Ive done a little research so far but still not completely sure. I dont want anything too flashy and i really like the srt rims. ive seen some posts here about the factory replicas which i think look great. im just not sure that they will fit on the limited model. from my understanding i will just need spacers for the front so they dont rub, and besides that they should work fine on there? Anyone hve any word on this?

I just got my new rims and tires so I know what your going through. I ended up going with the black srt 10 rims from factory reproductions. I think I got all 4 out the door from a local vendor for 700 bucks. If you dont want staggered rims, go with a 9 inch wide rim. That will allow you to rotate the tires no problem. I went with a 20x9 rims and the tires were 275/40/20. They went on very smooth no rubbing and didnt need any spacers.

oh alright, cus ive seen some say that youll need 3mm spacers for the front, and some saying 10mm spacers, i guess that could depend on the width of the rim tho? And also i cant decide if i want to go with the 20s or 22s. Any chance you have any photos you can share of your 20" srt10s you had put on so i can see how they look on it? And that sounds like a good deal, i haven even bothered checking out any local dealers cus i didnt think that they would carry the replicas. I know the stores inventory will vary on location, im down in south FL, but did you have your local shop order for you what size and everything that you wanted, or did they just happen to have them there in stock?

Yeah check my recent posts I posted a pic of them on my car. I will say this they do look a little small on my car, but heard 22's ride a little rough. I havent really noticed much of a ride change with my 20's going from stock 17's. I do want to lower my car a little bit soon tho to fill out the wheel wells a little more. I have turned my car hard over and didnt notice any wearing at all with my rims.

If you can buy OEM(original equiptment manufacturer) take-off wheels or nice used set that haven't been abused, it would be in your favor. A lot of replica wheels on the market are made with cheap overseas casts and don't have the integrity of OEM wheels. These cheap wheels are known to balance improperly, crack and break prematurly.

The spacers are needed of you go with the OEM SRT wheels. Factory Reproductions can get you SRT reproductions with the right offset for your car.

oh okay. i could see that some replicas may not be as good quaility as the real thing. does anybody have aany input on how well built the rims are from Factory Reproductions? i have seen quite a few posts from people that have purchased from them
