Default Wheel Opinions Please

I've been searching for a concave wheel for the D and haven't been able to fine one I like until now. Below are the wheels I'm about to order in 22x9. They are in our bolt pattern and have a +35 offset. Everyone is running 285x40's, but I'm leaning toward 305x40x22's. I like the "steam roller" look. My tire guy says they should fit and be able to go stop-to-stop w/o rubbing. What do you guys think?

Love the look, the 305's will be heavy but the look will be nice.

I really like those wheels.. I would powder coat them white. Lol

They look like the Vossen CV3 Wheels which I love.

Go for it!

My sentiments exactly with respect to the Vossen's. I called Vossen and they do not make the wheel in our bolt pattern. I wanted a set, although the price on these is much better. I probably won't put them on until Spring, but I'll post pics when I do. I may go with a 295. I'm running 285's on the stock R/T wheels and I have plenty of room, so my tire guy thought 305's wouldn't be an issue. The only thing he was worried about is 305's usually call for at least a 9.5" rim...

Dave, I would think with a 35mm offset and anything bigger then a 285 tire they will protrude out past the wheel well and look retarded. Imo of course.

I want them flush with the wheel wells, not protruding. I don't like the roller-skate look...

Just ordered them. $1800 shipped with black keyed lugnuts. It will be 7-10 days b/c they have to drill them and set the 35mm offset. While not cheap, not a terrible price for a true concave wheel. Like I said, I love the look of the Vossens, but they will not do 5x5 for me. This is the closest wheel to them that I've see. I think I will go ahead and have my buddy at the tire shop get a set of the Nitto NT420S' in the 285x40x22. Anyone else running those tires? Any suggestions on other tires?
