Time for new rims, What do you guys/gals think????? I cant make up my mind so I need a little help. Any input would be great!

The 845r are about $1200 more than the 545r's BUT at about 10 grand whats an extra $1200 (time for me to start seeing a shrink may be cheaper than new rims)

wow, tough choice you have there! I honestly think I would have to see both on the car in order to make a decision. I do like the 546R's as well.

Vd...The new set of wheels should be a nice addition to your Mamba ride.
You may want to consider 3.55's with those mammoth 20's on the back too.
Cheers.

Breaking news, just spoke to ccw and they told us that they soon will have 19f and 20r rims for the srt's its also almost half price.

The choices are getting harder and harder.

They are one piece rims. Aren't one piece rims stronger & lighter than 3 piece.

If anyone knows the answers please chime in!!!!

I am just trying to spend my money wisely.

A two piece rim is stronger, because they can make the part of the rim that conects the way they want, and that is usually very strong in design. One piece has it's limitations. Only on over weight rims whould this not matter. I suppose this applies to the three piece also. I read a very good write up on this subject once, and it went into detail about this. Multi piece is much better.

What do those rims weigh?

I have a chromed set of HRE 843R's on a vette and planning to pick up a chromed set for my 2005 SRT. They look much better live than in pics of which I have none. The 19's reportedly require modification of the emergency brake bracket don't know about 20's.
