I recently had someone offer to trade me his 20in. chrome wheels for my RT wheels. I'm giving him my 4 wheels with new tire, the wheels have a slight bit of curb damage from the previous owner, and I'm giving him spare RT rim with an old tire that I won't need anymore. I don't know what kind of wheels his are but he has new tires on the back, and older tires on the front, but he has a new set of tires for the front that he's gonna give me that he hasn't put on yet. I'm wanting to trade because my truck is a V6 and is decently quick for what it is but I don't really need the light wheels and I had to get a taller tire to fill the fenders and I'm not really likeing the look of the tall rubber. His wheels have locking lugs if that means anything and we both have Hankook tires, mine are Sports and I don't know what his are. Do you all think this is a good trade or should I wait and buy new wheels/tires? I'll post pics of my truck later tonight but my truck is lowered and is painted white with blue racing stripes.

Might be a silly question, but are they 6-lug off a dakota/durango or Viper?

They'll be heavy, and you probably will notice a difference in accelleration, braking, and mileage, but also a gain in cornering and the ride will be more harsh.

Yeah, they are off a RT Dakota . Sorry I can't put up any pics. Something is wrong with the digital camera. I'm not really worried about it being slower, as I don't really have any business racing anyways since I doubt my truck will ever see the track and I'm not really into the street racing thing.

Thats a GM full size thing that was pre-01.

Dakotas use 6 lug rims from 93-04 (2 and 4wd) and 5 lug 05+ (2 and 4wd)
