Default Ordered Repro SRT Wheels

Thanks to all for the posts of pictures and comments about sizes, tires and fitment issues.

This was a real pain in the neck....getting different/wrong information from part suppliers, dealer parts departments and tire suppliers.

Finally ordered 20"x9" SRT10 wheels from Factory Reproductions in CA and 285/50R20 Cooper Zeon LTZ from Discount Tire. Didn't want 22's nor did I need the widest tire available, plus I'm still hoping there will be no fitment issues. Old men don't need anymore agravation...we're mad already as it is!!

FYI....OEM 22's from Power Dodge in Phx are $1,318.90....each!!!

The 20x9's with 285/50's are a close fit.

Very nice looking setup, as Voda said, the Zeons look great. You're right on the OEM wheels, the prices are just nuts. If you got a kick out of the chrome SRT wheel's price, you should have asked them about the NightRunner (black) SRT wheel, it's something like $2,500 each.

From everything I've read the people at Factory Reproductions makes a great wheel. I know when I finally get the cash to get my 22" SRTs it'll be between them and Sport Muscle.

Why didn't you go with the original size tire? Since the rim is the same?

Good looking repro for sure. The OEM SRT 22s are ridiculous money, unless you happen to be in the right place at the right time! War Horse has seen my rig- OEM, stamped and numbered 22s off a wreck in Orlando, FL. Had to straighten one and no vibration well over 100mph. $2100 for all four. Now this isnt a brag post, just keep your eye out and your computer on the salvage lists! Ive seen repros that are awesome just watch where that chrome line ends inside the wheel and check the seal coat well! Ive seen chrome flake off like glitter and oxidation pop up like a chemical burn. Check them well before you lay down the cash boys!

@ 31.29", 285/50's look small...why not 33's?

My truck came with 265/70R17's on the steel 7" wide rim. Wanted something a little bigger, but chose not to run the 22's. The 285/50R20 mounted on the 20"x9" wheels are within a 1/2" of original tire diameter...so my speedometer error is minimal. Looking small, I believe is just an illusion....due to the different profile of the Zeon vs the Goodyear Wrangler. $180 ea @ Discount Tire.

Thanks for the compliments.
