Are your wheels polished, or chrome? because that makes a complete difference as to what you can do with them, didnt dodge offer the wheels as both polished and chrome??? If they are polished then you get a stitched wheel, and angle grinder, and some rouge and polish away, if they are chrome then sometimes they are beyond recovery, and sometimes it is just the clear coat, I would take them to both a wheel and tire shop and a paint shop and see what kinds of answers you get. But also find out if they are chrome or polished before you do anything.

When you install the e-fan it frees up some power from your engine bc it removes the parasitic loss caused by the stock clutch fan. The biggest thing I noticed was a pretty good jump in my MPG's. I also could feel a little boost in power too.
I did all the tint myself. I started on the tails and then after I felt pretty confident on my tinting skills I moved on to the windows. Turned out pretty well if I do say so myself

Dodge offered a polished wheel, thats the better option over the chrome wheel. the polished wheels are the same material as an alcoa semi truck wheel, I wash semi trucks and I have seen their wheels get worse than any car or truck wheel and all it takes is a good cutting rouge, a stitch wheel on an angle grinder, then onto a softer rouge, basically three steps, the white rouge is the softest and after you get done with the white rouge the wheels should look brand new, at least if you do have the polished ones, but it doesnt sound as though you do.

Thanks man, appreciate it. The e-fan is definitly a mod you should do. It is pretty easy and gets nice gains in mpg over the stock clutch fan.
