If they're stripped and properly prepped, there will be no issues.

Most of the issues were inside the barrel and around the lug nuts. The Dodge/SRT's credit they said it was not acceptable and are personally checking each. The other concern was just getting the rims, which meant gearing things back up for a short run by the supplier. They are committed to getting everyone a new set and considering that owners get to keep the old, that is still surprising and beneficial to all.

Still have not heard anthing since my last post. Maybe Bill P. can find out whats up. This has been a loooooooooooooooooong time without an update, anybody got an update?
Haha small world, looked nice, my viper was parked in my parking garage, I was waiting to cross Alton to get on Lincoln.
They were concerned about the quality of the redone rims, so the process is to inspect prior to shipping as SRT wants them to be what should be acceptable on a special ACR.

I talked to Johnathan at dodge and he said that they should ship by the end of the month.

UPDATE
They still seem to be having a problem with the Rims. I got mine but the packaging was terrible. Damage on two of the rims and apparently others have reported the same issues.
Anyway............still waiting for a better set.

the wheels were only sent to the org owners of the 1;33 cars. i am sure the org owner of your car got them.
That is my concern also, Chelsea, and unfortunately I have not been able to find the number for the guy that we were all talking to over a year ago. Am still digging for that , but I know the original individual on the fix was reassigned , so having trouble remembering who assisted later.
Just found one of the contacts and he helped look up the Vin number. As I feared the first owner already got his set of rims, and likely sold them off to someone at a profit. So SRT has already settled with this car , and unfortunately the second owner has a set of the original wheels. It is listed in the system also, so no chance to get a repair on said rims. There are wheel shops that will redo wheels for 150-200 per wheel , so that is probably the best alternative in the future.
Wish I had better news , but at least you know the situation.

No wheels for me! But very thankful there is someone around like Bill around on the VCA to be able to help!
No luck on wheels, but at least I got an accurate answer and it was fast!
