Ok, with a 20" X 8.5" and 20" X 9" wheel, what offset would be ideal and not need spacers?
I too would like to see the answer to this question...
BTW, maybe this thread should be a STICKY, since it has the info about the original wheels that come with the car. Sure would make it easier to find it.
Just do yourself a favor and get those awesome forged wheels from GS Motorsports. They have the offset, width, diameter, etc. all figured out already.
8.5"F, 10"R.
$2900 for 20s, $3200 for 22s. Damn good price IMHO.
Teahead,
I have to say I like your taste. You have done almost every mod on your black SRT-8 that I plan to do.
Do you have any larger pics of your ride?
Regarding the GS Motorsport wheels, that is a great link! I have been surfing the web for good forged wheels (for like 2-years; I'm a bit anal) and never ran across these.
Beautiful, many optional finishes, forged, staggered, good price.
From a good vendor. That Charger is gorgeous!
I have also been looking at DCR-Forged Wheels from a seller on eBay:
They have a number of other styles, too.
This guy is really a great person to deal with, and the prices for the wheels are pretty good too, although more than those at GS Motorsports.
True 3-piece forged wheels with any offset, to make sure everything fits. http://stores.ebay.com/Extreme-Luxuries
Opinions on which ones would look best on a black SRT-8?
I may have to go with 22" (don't worry, Teahead, I will lower the car! :- )

Anybody got any pics with a set of 22's and the car not lowered?? That would probably be the most helpful in the desicion making process... pictures are good!!
I looked at those DCR wheels. The top model, with the evenly-spaced spokes, is truly handsome, I thought. The manufacturer has a web site at http://www.dcrwheels.com/ with photos of all models. I contacted the Ebay retailer about the wheel weight and received this:
The 22x9 wheels weigh approx 37lbs. The 20x9 weigh approx. 27 lbs.
I don't know about you, but that seems an amazing difference for a 2" greater diameter. Now, that weight is in longer spokes and a larger circumference rim, but holy cow, 10 pounds of unsprung weight! I think I'll be sticking with 20s.
The GS Motorsports wheels do not list a weight, but state "nearly the same weight as the factory 20’s". That could mean within a pound, within 5 pounds, or who knows - it's not a answer. They do have small spokes and I'd certainly like to find out what they weigh.
A whle back I contacted Kinesis about their 20" wheels (that is the largest they make, and it's really nice looking). They stated
"Our 20" three piece forged wheel (K1020) comes in a variety of widths between 7 and 12 inches. A 20x8.5" wheel could have a variety of weights depending on the brakes of the car and offset needed. To generalize each 20x8.5 would weigh approximately 23-24 lbs. The 20x10 would weigh about 25 lbs."
