So I found a set of 2009 SRT Challenger Rims on CL for $1250 with tires in good shape only thing is they are in Galloway NJ kinda far for me and the price is firm! Guy said he could meet me at the Farley rest stop but I dunno what do you guys think I was hoping he might bend on price cause its a hike and this isnt a "Must have for me" just thinking of a new look for next summer. Need some input wife is not in the "Know" on these kind of matters..

I agree the stock wheels are perfect IMO I would leave the Clads on but I think after the M&G scare I want more tire under the R/T to go with the SRT struts and springs. As for Aftermarket, I dont like most of the rims Ive seen on these cars. I do like the Hurst set up but I dont have that coin so SRT rims if anything for me.His price is fair if the tires are what he claims. There is a guy on the forums with take off's for around the same price.I might go that route if these sell.

I signed up over the weekend ! But he ships without TMPS so I would need to get them! More $$$ I wouldnt want to swap mine out from the R//T wheels so i would have to buy new ones MORE $$$ I will have to write to Santa about this... LOL

Your right, that little extra tire patch can make a big difference. Also consider the fact that the tires on the SRT cars were part of an integral designed suspension system and provided the handling characteristics that were also designed into SRT cars. All in all in the end if you buy the Hurst take offs you are pretty much guaranteed they haven't been abused in any way, those rims never saw a pot hole and the tread will be brand new, you're buying peace of mind. With the other deals you have to rely on the seller's honesty. For me I would spend the extra bucks just to be sure. When it comes to these cars and driving them hard and fast I wouldn't mess around. The only thing you still need to do to get really close to the SRT is to Huff it. The Vortech takes the 5.7L right up to the 6.1L power numbers. What's really cool about adding supercharging to the 5.7L is if you aren't in the gas you will still be getting the gas mileage of a 5.7 with the power of the 6.1L at hand by just stomping on the go pedal! That's what's cool about centrifugal blowers; they're only there when you need them. When your not in the gas the bypass valve is open and the pressure is purged from the system....but when you hit the gas that bypass valve (Pop-Off) slams shut and all that boost is instantly pushed into the motor, bah-bam, you're flying! Sure you get one second of lag just off idle when punching it with a cent. blower but It's worth it to have the best of both worlds, lots of power and gas mileage too! If you want to build a race only car put the roots blower on, it's the way to go.

Just to make my point. I had the Hurst out for a ride on Sunday afternoon, I was rolling down 309 between Quakertown and Perkasie, there's a nice stretch I wanted to put her in the 3 digit zone and this truck and tag trailer was riding in the left lane going around 55-60 so I put her in the right lane as I pulled it into 3rd gear and put the hammer down. I swear to you that car went from 60 to 120 in three seconds and there were two people in the car. That 372ci blown Hemi pulls like a 500ci big block! So the motto concerning blowers for the street should be "Don't Push, Just Squeeze "

Claude9039u wrote Yep and tpms are like 75 each. Your not driving that car in the snow sell the rt rims! reuse the tpms!

No Snow this year! I'd like to keep all the OEM parts so no selling the rims.I have every part from the Dakota R/T some where around the Garage! Sometimes I wonder why I did that with the little space I have but someday I will be glad I did I guess?? Lol
