Need to Make a Decision! Need Members Assistance!

[ZDigital1]

Greetings,
I am new to the forum and have to make my final decision on wheels for my 03 SRT Converitible (silver)
I am weighing my decision between the following:
HRE 542R Series 18x10 and 19x13 (polished)
Dodge Stock Production (5 Spoke)
and
Dodge Sidewinders
If anyone can give me some recommedations, I would greatly appreciate them!
Thanks in advance!

The best advice I can give would be to get what you like. Afterall its your car. Do whatever makes you happy.

 

[ZDigital1]

Thanks! You are sooo correct! I guess I was looking for any personal experiences and possible issues.

I have the same color and I went with sidewinders for 2 reasons: 1. They are much cheaper than the HREs and 2. I want to paint the centers black (like last years VCA car) and they have a natural break where you can stop the paint. Good luck.

Hi DP Viper,
You don't have any images of your SRT with the Sidewinders by chance do you?
Thanks for responding.
Scott

Sidewinders or the new H wheels, but I also still dig the stock 10 spoke.

If you can afford it, go HRE's pal.... much more "Caché."

HEY STRANGER!!

REMEMBER ME?!!

WHEN WE GOING FOR A DRIVE?

 

[ZDigital1]

I'm leaning real heavy to the HRE's They are super sharp! Money is not an issue. I just want to make the right choice!
Thanks,
Scott

I am available till this Wednesday night then my SRT is being picked up and shipped to Detroit (Prefix) for a complete makeover. let me know if you guys want to meet for dinner and check out the town.

yeah scott, i am talking to you - it is me JOHN BISANZ!

 

[ZDigital1]

Thanks!
Anxious to see it with the HRE wheels!

 

[ZDigital1]

Holy Cow! What a small world! How have ya been?
Have you been in touch with R. Buckman from Morton?

 

[big-n-italian]

scott, let me send you an email!

sorry for the hi-jack everyone.

i havent seen scott for probably 20 years. we were "car guys" back in the day, probably wearing our "members only" jackets and listening to lover-boy on the radio.

what a small world we live in sometimes.

nice stripes.

I really like the 5 spokes on silver.

If you do the HRE's, plus one all the way around looks so much better.

 

[ZDigital1]

Thanks,
I'm assuming when you say "plus one all the way around" you are referring to the the 19" and 20" wheels size. Is that correct?

 

[ILLSMOQ]

That's right. What are you having Prefix do to the car? that snake skin interior they do is pretty cool.

 

[SRTRICKY]

if money is not an issue then the HRE's for sure!

 

[ZDigital1]

Prefix is doing a complete leather interior package, custom striping, powder coating calipers, suspension and a few other odds and ends. I met Kim Zeile (owner of Prefix)and Ron Batt (Sales and Program Manager) a few weeks ago and they have put together a unique package that reflects my personality. I'm NOT going for that "**** LOOK" but more for a low key look with lots of attitude! I had considered purchasing one of the 06 Coupes but decided to invest a bit into my 03 and see what comes in 2010. Not certain what the next body style will be, but I will ride it out!

powder coated copperhead blems...

How wild - this striping scheme is exactly what I wanted to do to my car + sidewinders (not sure whether painted or polished).

Does anyone know who's car this is?

That is BY FAR THE best looking silver and stripe srt-10 i have ever seen. I actually sent that exact photo to a friend of mine, telling him how cool it was, just yesterday. Him and a couple of guys from work concured. I hope to god, you do not ruin just how classy that car looks right now. What color are those stripes? And who put them on your car?

Jon, i talked to scott last night and he told me that this is actually a photoshopped version of what his car will look like when it returns from Prefix.

i agree, it looks HOT.

Coolness, because I truly believe that is the best looking set up i have seen on an srt-10 convertible period, regardless of color. (I'd swap those wheels with the First Edition 5 spokes though, I have not been a fan of the 03 srt wheels since they came out.)

Cant wait to see the car when it comes back from prefix.

silver is for spoons...and audis

Black chrome the 10 spokes like the VCA edition yellow cars have. On that silver car- it would look AWSOME!
