SRT Wheels...How heavy are they?

[FreebirdSRT]

Hello everybody. US Wheel and I are working together to try to bring you a 20" forged wheel that will still be just as strong but weigh less than the OEM SRT wheels.

I have heard from some members that the 20" 300 SRT wheel weighs less than the Magnum and Charger SRT wheels.

To ensure USW makes a light enough wheel. They would like to know the OEM weights of the 3 different SRT wheels. If someone knows the exact weight of the wheel, please let me know.

300CSRT OEM wheel weight=_______

MagnumSRT OEM wheel weight=_______

ChargerSRT OEM wheel weight=________


I also know that from reading other post's. The SRT wheels will gain 1 lb when you chrome them. Since the SRT wheel finish is already bare aluminum, there is not much weigh shaving when you strip down most wheels and chrome them.So if you chrome your SRT wheels you will be adding 1 lb to each wheel.

I believe there is a significant market for "replica" Charger/Magnum SRT wheels, much like how one company makes the replica SRT10 wheels in various configs (including car bolt patterns) and sizes (20", 22"). Would US Wheel consider doing this? I would buy right now a set of Charger SRT8 wheels that were lighter than stock and looked the same - although they'd hav to be in chrome, of course...

The 300c rims weigh 28.5 lbs. Chrome should add about 1/2 to 1 pound.

There is some info on this as I weighed one of my rims with the tire mounted on the SRT chrome wheel thread.

HalV48 had a good point in the fact that every wheel weighed in a different part of the universe is going to be different i.e. DR, scale type, scale calibration etc. Basically, if you want a true weight, you need to weigh each wheel on the same scale and make sure it is calibrated etc. Otherwise you could be as much as 5lbs off.

I would be the first in line to buy a set of Charger SRT rear wheels that are 10 inches wide!!!!!!!!!!

The ONLY reason I have not gotten after-market wheels is 'cause the only style wheel I have seen to look right on the Charger SRT8 body style is the original. The wheel and body style where obviously styled together.

Now.......Let me clear my virtual throat for this one........Eh hem!
.........If some vendor pulls of the miracle and comes out with.......22" staggered Charger SRT replicas that weigh the same or lighter, I'd do what ever it takes (well not everything) to be the first to buy, and even...huuugh...put the vendors sticker on my car!!!!!!!!!



Sorry to post in large script as if to scream, but that is how strongly I feel about this subject, and amongst other SRT Charger owners I am not alone.

HalV48 is correct. I was wondering if someone like ResumeSpeed or another member might have some numbers from DCX. I am sure DCX weighed the wheels. I am wondering if someone can find that info.

I will forward your suggestion to USW Mr. Bulk.

I replied to Mr. Bulk as well about this similar request. I will send the request's on to USW.
