I can hear the turbo - I bet you can hear it spool up real good under load. I'd imagine that this thing needs a hard pull every now and then to keep everything clean just like a diesel "italian tune up".

Thanks Steve, and I agree. In a certain light though, in person, the wheels really pop. But as far as practicality, they are really not my kind of wheel. Too big, not enough rubber, and too heavy. I hate heavy wheels, and these are nearly as heavy as the 20s with 265s I had on the Dakota. Around 80lbs each with rubber. I'm already looking to change them. I will probably sell them and put some steel ones I found on them for now, until winter is over.

I have my eyes on a coworkers 08 R/T Daytona, his wheels are stock chrome 20s and would look great on the car if I powder coated them black. I think he might be interested in a straight across trade, and his Daytona is orange so the paint on the wheel rim would still match.
