Sorry, for some reason I thought i posted in the wrong thread and edited my post.

Here are the pics. The Wheels were purchased from one of the site sponsors GS Motorsports. I bought the wheels, tires mounted/balanced with TPM. Offset info is not known.

You just lost your forum membership privileges! To be a good standing member you must be able to know every aspect of your car and your mods. Turn in your 300C SRT8 badge and gun. Off with his head

Perhaps that information is on your receipt.

BTW, the car looks wonderful.

Well in that case the truth is that Scott from GS Motorsports worked closely with Intro back and forth to get the offset right. I wanted the deepest possible lip with the widest possible setup and it had to clear the brembos. My invoice shows generic description with no offset info and the wheels dont say it either on the inside or anything.

Now that I've read MOST of the 21 pages on this thread, I have some more questions. It seems the first few pages were full of "Wow the 22's ride same/better than the stock", then came the brainiacs using physics and other stuff that's hard to argue with saying that 22's would have a negative impact on other parts of the car. I decided to go with a 300 Touring so I could save on gas and not feel so compelled to do dumb stuff with 340 HP. I also wanted to spend the 5k I saved on wheels and accessories. What needs to be my primary focus in choosing a wheel other than looks? Is the weight and OD the primary concerns?

However, you did not say if you still want the 22's or not? If your heart is set for 22's go for it, however, the best overall compromise may be the 20's. But that advise is for standard for 300C owners going from 18 to 20. You would be going a plus-3 upgrad from 17 to 20. So, would you consider going to 19"?

The increased weight will give you longer stopping distances, will you notice, I don't know. Trying to reduce that new added unsprung weight is costly and would require buying expensive forged rims at $1k plus each.

If I decide to go with something bigger than 19", what other parts of the car would need to be upgraded to accomodate the weight? Shocks, springs, brakes? I guess if the shocks and brakes are just going to wear out faster that is not a big deal. If having bigger heavier wheels creates some sort of safety issue then that is another matter.
