What do you think of these wheels guys? I've liked them for quite while now and frankly if I didnt have my current ones Id be saving for set of these. Maybe I will get these or similar ones in future

Will they work?  I know front wheel drive cars usually are off set more than what a rear wheel drive car would be.  Might have some major clearance issues.

Those would look killer in the right offset...

If you can get the right backspacing and lug pattern they would look awesome!

Yep 262! Those wheels on that silver Charger are supposed to look like
Viper ACR wheels!!
But the ones Silver RT posted kinda look like SRT10 Viper wheels!
I like the look too!   :icon_smile_big:

Just an FYI guys...
Those wheels on that silver Charger/Viper are made by Kinesis. I called the company to get some info. A set of four of those wheels in an 18" rear, 17" front configuration will run about $4400. (no kidding).  :'(
I was hoping to get a set for my current '69 project I'm building. Not gonna happen in my lifetime.
I also called Fikse wheels, they make a similar design only without the simulated rivets around the edge. Those would set me back about $4200. Yikes.
These wheel manufacturers design these wheels for real racing applications, they are not some bling-bling, generic over the counter PoS wheel. They are really constructed nicely and have very tight tolerances, and it's reflected in the price.
Silver R/T, those wheels in that eBay auction are made for foreign cars, it's stated in the auction which cars they will fit. They won't work on an American muscle car. Most aftermarket wheels nowadays are designed for late model cars.
The Fikse & Kinesis wheels can be made with any offset, & any lug pattern. So can most hot rod wheels from Boyd, Foose, Bonspeed, Intro, etc. And, they are about half the price with a much wider selection. I've turned my interests to those companies.
Sorry to sidetrack the thread. OK, rant off.

I hate to be the naysayer of the bunch, but don't particularly like that charger with the viper motor.  maybe it's the 4x4 stance, or maybe it's the wheels, I can't decide.

the wheels that silver posted the ebay auction on are pretty nice, I like them better.  maybe it's because they have a darker color.

100% agree. Even those wheels are so expensive they dont look right on that Charger. Wheels Ive posted link to would look much better on that silver charger or even black. As its a nice contrasting color for the car
