Ahh, much better - new wheels(pics)

I finally got my new wheels. From the start, I've always felt that my car should have 5-spoke wheels. I know others disagree and I respect their opinions, but to me any car that puts out as much power as ours do should have 5-spokes. I decided on the Charger SRT8 wheels because I knew they would fit, they're relatively light, they were designed to work with our cars, and they still say SRT on them! I got a very good deal on a set with less than 2,000 miles on them and no damage with tires from a member on chargerforums. Then sather from this board pointed me towards a chromer in our area. Lastly, I painted the SRT on the wheel to match my paint. The best part of it all - they are about 100 times easier to clean than the 10 spokes!

They look sharp! Nice idea with the chroming.

Those, and the Intro wheels that I've heard GSM sells, are the best looking wheels I've seen on a 3SRT.

1FastSedan, looking sharp. I know Trojan will be chiming in soon. He did the same thing as you did, with his Black 300 with Charger wheels.

I have been a fan of 5 spokes since my first set (enkie's), back in 1986.

This is the 5 spoke I went with.


I have since had the centers painted in Silver Steel and SRT letters added to one of the spokes.

Freebird yours look great with the Silver Steel.

But I still think BB is the best car color!
