Well,

All though I know it is crazy money all the moding on the Charger and Ram, I really had my heart set on the ION 171 polished wheels with some nice MT / ATs.

I was informed this morning that the bolt pattern would not line up. Could have sworn I read it would. :-(

Not interested in adapters. Anyways, Ill prolly do some type of design / plasti dip deal on stockers. I sort of like the stockers anyways.


ION Alloy Series 171 Polished Wheels 171-7973P - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing

Did you not like the Mickey Thompson Classic III rims? Basically the same and they come in polished or black, fairly cheap.

Looks like low maintenance, no worries wheels to me. I did the unthinkable and dropped from 20s to 17s for more sidewall and less worries about damaging 20 inch wheels. Cost was only a couple hundred difference between the 17s and 20s, but not everyone needs 20s. I had 22s on an old truck and grew out of that. Getting slightly more practical the older I get.

I did the same, still waiting on my wheels via freight shipping. The money you save on tires down the road pays for the rims.

I think it will look good.

That looks so much better than the 22s, 24s, etc with off road tires.
I'm sorry, keep those sizes with street tires.

Some do look good, but most just look obnoxious.


Now your rim selection need some help but at least won't see many like it on the road.

Which place did you order from and what size tires?

Sd wheels on ebay. Good price and come mounted. They say they're balanced, but they weren't. Just remember to order tpms sensors if you plan on keeping your factory wheels. Also aftermarket lugs are most likely a must. My fuel rims laughed at the idea of the ram lugs fitting.

Fyi.. There are 3 major sellers on ebay with different names... They're all the same company, just different reps.

Sybil have you taken a close look at the centerlines on your truck lately? Talk about ugly and out of place on that style truck! Would be more appropriate on an 80's Chevy.

sybil i don't think you have any right to judge anyone else's taste in wheels. The centerlines you got look like crap on your truck. Talk about cheap, junkyard looking wheels on a new(er) truck.


lol

I would be heart broken too. Seems like we have some opposite opinions on thread but I am with you lol. For me, I don't like over the top designed wheels. The first that come to mind, that, at one point, where very popular, are those damn "rock star" wheels. I am sure someone on here had them. Hell, dozens of people lol. I use those as an example to represent tons of over designed pavement princess wheels.

I had some wheels like the one you posted on a previous truck. It looked great and I got a lot of compliments on the overall set up.

American racing wheels I ran and wouldn't mind doing it again.
