I’m not proud of these wheels but they hold the blizzaks on lol. Thank you Swerve for the late-night mount and balancing.

They’re slightly better than the rusty steel wheels I have, and between the wheels and tires I almost paid as much as you did.

Meh I don’t think they are terrible. Get some center caps! Maybe paint them but for winters they will do just fine.

I always wanted to know how the SRTs are these days. I wanted to buy one before they actually came out, but it came out after my last purchase.

Is there a decent aftermarket for them like there was for the Neons?

Paint them black.

There are only a few vendors so far but they offer all of the basics and some turbo stuff. fwd traction is the biggest roadblock. Realtune has their shop car in the 11’s so far:meh2: …

And thanks Just Karter for that photoshop. Black is definitely the way to go. I’ll try to rattle can them this week.

Personally I think rattle can black will look like trash. They are only winter wheels, just leave them. Looks like factory optioned wheels to me this way.

This

Plus, you’ll have to scuff the shit out of that finish to get it to hold paint, and then with the salt attacking them… eh.
