Well, hopefully ordering today, if the wife doesn't change her mind again. :D:D:D

Looking at two options that fit the price range I want to pay, and the style I actually like. Curious though what members here think of each, which they prefer, which wheel would make most sense from an everyday driver viewpoint, which would stand out the most... blah blah blah.

Won't go into too many details about them, but I will say there will be some small graphics going on the truck. So the color of the wheel will determine what color the graphics will be.

Option #1:

SRT-10 replica in gunmetal grey finish, 42.5 lbs.

Here's a quick photoshop with them on a similar Ram R/T:

Option #2:

Boss 335 black with chrome lip, 39 lbs.

No offense Chris but Vipers are SO over done!

I love the Black and Chrome Boss 5 Spokes!!!!!!

Well the wife has decided on the SRT-10 wheels...

I did worry that the Boss 335 wouldn't hold up to every day driving being there is so much space between the spokes.

For me it would depend on the size you are going with. For a 22 or smaller I would go with the Boss and a 24 then I would go with the Vipers. I haven thinking about going with the Boss 335 myself.

Viper for the Win. I love those wheels on those trucks. Every body has 5 stars/spokes. I am a huge fan of the SRT10 trucks. JMO

You couldn't make the wrong choice with those two anyway.

I will agree with you, I got mine cause they are just what I could afford and I loved them. My dream wheel would be a set of staggered 22" KMC Nova's. One day, one day....

Man them Nova's are nice. I remember seeing the predecessor made by Hot Wheels on the Oakley Dodge Ram back in 2005, now those truly were some hot looking wheels!

Here's a if anyone wants to see a fat lipped 24" :

hmm....I'm gonna go with what Shanes saying..... vipers in 24s boss in 22s. That gun metal is nice but I cant turn down a deep lip n black 5 star!! (found a set on craigslist with a wrong number for cheap 20s, err... http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/pts/1918258998.html )
BTW them 'hot wheels' are awsome with the flat black!

Just my two cents, but I'm a 5 Star guy myself. The Vipers are overdone, but I guess they all are huh?! I would go with the Boss. The combination with the lip and the paint is what makes them unique on your truck...especailly if they come with the big brakes shown in your photoshop version!!!

I went with Foose, and they too where overdone for awhile, but then I found the LEGENDS. Big lip and nice paint in a 5 star config...and check out how the lip never ends...

A lot of opinions to consider here...just do what turns you on!

chithead

Those Foose Legends are definitely nice.

The SRT-10 wheels did arrive, just waiting on the sensors to get here and a few other details.

wow, how did i miss this thread!!

i would have voted for the Boss also, im not a black wheel man myself, but if there is enough chrome like those, then i would have done that.....BUT

those viper wheels are gonna look sooooo sweeeeet on your R/T!! cant wait to see the graphics that go along with them!!!

Went with the 22" SRT-10 from OE Wheels LLC - they had the best price I could find.

Already had a set of 305/45R22 Falken Ziex tires that were purchased three months ago.

I could at least show the rims off - didn't mean to leave anyone hanging! They are darker than what I thought they would be, but that's a good thing in my opinion!

Received a new set of Ram center caps yesterday, and yes, they fit perfectly into these wheels!

I do need to lower it that's for sure. Found out BellTech is making a kit for them now with a heavier rear anti-sway bar. Could be next on the list...
