BTW, me and a buddy are going to be doing a track day soon! I will run some laps and take notes on how my suspension (and engine) performs, so I can dial it in. :)

Where are you doing a track day at?

I can't find part numbers for the QA1's anywhere's that says they fit our trucks.

You won't find one either. Two ways to find out, call them and ask, or take measurements of the ride height, compressed height, and extended height and order accordingly.

They dont have test and tunes at Pomona as far as I know. Only NHRA. I go to the 1/8 mile at Irwindale. I like it.

Lol, ok. I've thought about autocrossing my truck but of course my truck still needs some more stuff to be able to do that. Let me know if you guys head out. Id like to see that. Maybe once I get my drop in I can join.

So I have literally spent two hours searching the internet for wheels and have little to show for it. I find many I like, but not our pattern or not in 22".

So that begs the question ... what are the cons of wheel adapters?

Just keep looking for wheels in our bolt pattern. Minimum thickness for a wheel lug adapter is 1.25" which will make the wheels stick really far out unless you can find a really high offset in our bolt pattern.

I did look through that thread and clicked on the links ... still no luck for the bolt pattern. I did find some adapters ranging from .75" to 1.25", but dont know enough about them. I know back in the day people were scared of them bc of reliability, but it seems they have improved over the years.

I don't think you can go wrong with SRT22s or RT22s. Would love to have a set of either.

You are right ... they are awesome looking wheels. I wanted something a little different, but may end up there after all.

I am not a fan of wheel adapters, they just seem a little mickey mouse to me... Just MHO.

Post a picture of what kind of wheels you are looking for. I do have alot of links saved in my favorites from when I was looking. Also post a pic of your truck, too.

The srt10 wheels are nice and they are available in many sizes and colors. Plus, there are many replicas available super cheap.

They're all over ebay. They were one of my top favorites, but I didn't like that they are heavier than my stock wheels.

I wonder what the weight difference is between stock 20s and the rt and srt 22s. I thought I heard somewhere that the rt 22s were lighter that the 20s.
