Thanks for the responses guys.

I actually dont care about losing speed in this truck, and not worried about being blown away by an F150, as I wouldnt be racing them on the streets anyways.

Just wanted to check to see if luge pattern was same, and if I would have any issues.

So no one has bought take off 22's? I see the 20 SRT-10s above, but no 22s.

 

That frame of thinking seems to hold true throughout these forums. Most truck owners can't decide what they want their truck to do or they just mod away with no real goal in mind.

In the car world, at least the one I live in, you're either "show" or "go." The two things rarely go together without spending a good deal of money.

EXAMPLE: You add a chip, exhaust, programmer, whatever to add a marginal increase in performance to your truck, then negate your performance mods by adding an extra 100 pounds to your truck in wheels and rubber. Not to mention the change in gearing that'll slow your truck rather than speed it up.

One way or the other. It's nice to stand by your truck with it's 22s and all the other stuff, but when it's time to put up or shut up you'll likely end up looking, uh (thinking of non-harsh word), "silly" if the other guy actually knows what he's doing.

If you want to haul a$$, bigger is definitely NOT better. If you don't care about speed and want to look sharp, why the performance mods?

Sorry, but to me that is a waste of money.

And knowing Dodge, those wheels are likely cast, not forged, and probably weigh a good bit. I'd love to drop one on a scale out of curiousity.

 

Yeah, with my RAM, its going to be show, not go. It's a truck, not a race car.

If I wanted a race car, I would have kept my STi or S2000.

 

I knida gathered that you were on a 'path' by your mod line in your sig. I also assume (hopefully correctly) from your listed previous rides that you know what I'm talking about with regard to how car guys generally operate.

Nice rides - why in the world did you move away from the cars into the truck arena?

 

Kids and too many toys (four wheelers, etc) .

It should make my life much easier..... I hope.

I am loving the truck, just adjusting still.

Thanks for your input too.

 

Now that's a problem I would like to have - too many toys... The Subie was a 4 door - that sweetie could haul the kids - LOL..

Understood - and you made a good choice. I traded into my current truck from a '99 1500 5.9. No complaints with that truck other than I wanted something I could get some power out of and better pull my RV. The 5.9 made noise adn drank gas, but not much else.

No problem on the data dump on the wheels - you likely already knew everything I posted anyway. You should put your cars in your sig so the other car guys here will know you have a clue. LOL.

Lots of guys here adding parts to their truck with no plan, adding parts that cancel each other out, and adding parts that serve no purpose at all except to add depth to the signature line. It's hard to know who is on the other end of the post.

Good luck smoothing out the HEMI - if you get those SRT wheels dialed in post up a pic and let us check 'em out. You planning on a drop?

There's a thread with pics of my 'whips' in the newbie forum, if you're interested.
