Can you find out if that was the wheel alone or with tire?

I have also heard, but not confirmed, that the 300 SRT wheel weighs 3 lb less than the Magnum wheel.

FYI. This is the current 2-piece Forged wheel that USW offers in a 22" and 20". I think this wheel design works best with the Charger and Magnum. Still looks good on the 300.

They are available in 9.5 " and 10.5" width's. I don't know the weight of there 20 or 22 forged. But I have sent them an e-mail asking for the weight of there current wheel.

I'll ask, but I think this is wheel only. I remember some where that 300 SRT tire & wheel together are 60lbs....but that is off memory and can't be confirmed either...

Freebird- You can ask and/or contribute on Chargerforums....the tread is here:http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/...ad.php?t=14844

Why are they making them in 10.5" widths? I have 10s w/6.5" backspacing and I can't see how one would get anything wider w/o having to run a super low profile 25-series tire!

This is from an e-mail I got from Bob over at USW. This is his personal Magnum. He is running 35 series I believe. Maybe there back spacing is different. I will ask USW.

Here is a picture of my Magnum with the 22x10.5 and 22x9.5 wheels on it.
Not a cool as yours but working on it.

You are right...The style is aggressive enough to be in harmony with the Charger SRT body style, but they are forged not modular so the weight is in question.... In addition I would prefer 9" front & 10" rear with optimized for the LX SRT backspacing and fenders, as GSM's package is. The only reason I have not gone with their package is 'cause I don't like the style the GSM's are available in. I know that there package with tires weighs the same as the 300 SRT wheels with tires. Saw it on the scales at their shop back in March. Sorry I remember the weights being equal on the scale, but don't remember the numbers......

I'd like to see his car, lowered, with 295s with 40 series and 20x10.5s! Doubtful it will work.

I will talk to USW about the width's.

I do know Hennessey's personal MSRT550 is running 20x10.5 with a 295/40/20 in back with a 6.5" backspacing. Very close, but no rubbing. The front Hennessey wheel is a 20x9 with a 275/35/20 with a 6" backspacing.

Bo'sRT has an OEM 300 SRT wheel and he is confirming with Nick at Hennessey's if they have a Charger SRT and Magnum SRT wheel, up at the shop.

If they do. Bo and I are going to go to Hennessey's and use one scale to weigh all 3 wheels. If the scale is off, it will be off on all 3 wheels. But will give us a number for each wheel.
