Default My 2003 Dodge Stratus Coupe

Hello everybody.

This is my first time posting on here. I asked my neighbor a few question (he's a mechanic for Mercedes) and he suggested that I find Dodge forum to find out information of what I am looking to do. So after Googling it I am here.

I have a 2003 Dodge Stratus Coupe and I was looking into buying wheels for it. I think they are called Smoothie wheels and found that. Cragar makes them. http://www.jegs.com/p/Cragar/Cragar-...52139/10002/-1

this is my car.

As far as Ive seen, no one has ever put that style wheel on the Stratus Coupe. Personally I dont think it fits the styling. As far as mechanicals, you basically own a 00-05 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

I found this site that let me put the wheels on it to see how it looks, and I think it looks pretty cool. Cos Daytons would bring to many problems. Name:  FB8CA041-C157-4A48-92F2-95BE51CD5DDF-119-000000073BA9FAFE_zps86d5059f.jpg

I'm personally not a fan but to each their own I guess.
I wouldn't consider those wheels suited for a sports car.
Your car looks pretty clean, I hope you're modifying it well!
