Our bolt pattern and offset makes it even harder.

There are options
some wheels are available in blanks and can be drilled.
We just ask our supplier what our options are in blanks that they have and get them to drill them for us. It opens up the selection a little more.With my Lexani wheels I had Lexani drill them for me to our bolt pattern. I wanted a concave look and Lexani had the CVX55 in blanks in a 20 with 35MM offset. So thats what I went with.

So do our TPMS automatically recalibrate to which corner they are on when switching tires or rotating? (ie.. the evic display with show the correct PSI for the correct wheel).

Default Wobbly Bolts?

Me too been searching for 22" wheels for '12 R/T...it's hard to look for 5x5 with +38 offset...not too many choices.

But then.....some wheel shop was telling me that is this "wobbly bolts"..that will allow us to use pretty much 5x130 wheels. Been searching on the net..sounds promising..but many of them says only can do maximum play of 2.4mm...which a tad short of 130".

Have any of you heard about this wobbly bolts? I could only imagine how many different options we could choose should this wobbly bolts work to our application.

What they're suggesting is that your Lug stud would be very close to one side or the other of your drilled holes so that it will fit. That is very dangerous and I would be very cautious using a wheel shop that is more concerned about selling you a set of wheels over your safety once you drive out of their shop onto roads around other drivers. Your lug stud should be centered with the holes and only use appropriate lug patterns.

Check out this website, they have several selections and you can search by various options and sizes:

Wow, lots of rims on that site. Mucho $$$$$$$. Very busy and hard to read site. I wish they had a tire rack like feature to see what they actually look like on the car.

Default Optical illusion - Black/Machine finish?

Trying to decide if I should go with painted Black, Satin (Matte) Black, or Machined finished on a same wheel. Is it true that Black with give smaller optical illusion than machined or even silver finished?

My D is Black. Thanks
