I suggest you read The following thread again before purchasing Sequence Wheels.

Gshug I assume your first set of wheels was stolen because of no wheel locks, but now you have a garage? I'm just trying to set the record straight. Sequence SQ-2 Wheels cannot be locked with standard wheel locks.

Doc G mentioned that he WAS able to find a tuner wheel lock that worked in this thread. But buyer beware. I would never put 22" wheels on my car without wheel locks. I'd be worried every time I park somewhere for more than an hour. Perhaps its time a FAQ was created for this issue, and if Sequence would like to address it they can. In fact they SHOULD.

With that wheeel/tire combo, you are going to have a tough time "burning rubber."

I read it here first, about unsprung weight and the extra power it takes to rotate aftermarket setups. But I'm running 20s and the extra tire patch/much heavier weight of aftermarket rims will sap a lot of that extra horsepower.

Just my thoughts.

Mine's fast, too.

But he mentioned "burning rubber," which to me means tire smoking burnouts/white smoke launches.

Those are pretty hard to come by once the stock 18s come off.

I agree. And the SRT-8 is designed for max performance. It also has the brakes needed to stop the huge 20" wheels.
