Wow. Just wow. I think that will look absolutely amazing, and I hope you don't mind if in the future I pick up a second set of SRT wheels and do that. That looks absolutely amazing. So what, you paint them, and then have the tops machined off?

O.k. I am going to be the first negative. I do not like painted SRT-4 wheels for some reason. Maybe it has been over played, but I do like the other picture you did post of the polished surface. The rest of your car is looking very good otherwise!

White with Blue Stripes is the Commemorative Edition.. Nothing to roll your eyes about.. Only 200 made.

I am totally with you on that man. I just got a really good deal on already painted rims and winter tires and couldn't pass it up. I think it looks absolutely badass. I now don't have to worry about cleaning brake dust ALL the time on my gray ones, big pet peeve of mine. The gray ones look great when they are clean and there is no brake dust on there. When I went to a little SRT-4 meet, all of them had the gray ones on there car, none of them were painted. :thumbup:

Too Narrow.
I noticed that too.. They are narrow as hell, They look like wagon wheels from the rear. I was planning to sell my black ones and get a nice set of 16's with beefy rubber, but I don't have that kind of money yet. I plan on doing that in the future.

Thanks man, it kind of reminds me of Grambo's ACR for some reason. Needs to be lowered of course :lol:

I don't have the winter tires on the black rims... I had them swap out my Kumhos onto my black ones and leave the winter tires off the gray ones. (Cheaper)

I think he was talking about this one I mentioned to him personally... There was a white one with blue stripes for sale in KC and they were asking $19.9k for it. It was not a commerative edition from what I could tell...

I have a wider 215/45 17's on my SRT wheels, and they no longer look that narrow.

Probably why they only made 200 of them. The first 200 probably came off the assembly line all at once, and then after alot of :puke: they realized what a horrible mistake they made, halted production, and made up a silly name hoping 200 gullible people out there would buy it. And the guy that came up with the idea was demoted to janitor.
