On a somewhat unrelated note, I finally saw one in person today.

too be honest im not a fan of this look but i think it looks somewhat good if your into that style like in ATL and stuff. lol but no really i would rather have this on 24s then a 89 chevy on 24s....

If there was literally a decent set of 24" out on the market, they would look good on the Challenger.

Too many spokes, to many intricate edges and surfaces, and too many bolts on the rim ruins it.

The original SRT-8 Challenger 20" 5 spoke rim in a 24" size would look great on this car. Or even the newest Viper 5 spoke split design in a 22" or 24" would look nice...

Ive always wanted to see certain stock wheels in bigger sizes. It dnt look that bad but i wouldnt have done that to it though

Not the greatest pictures...

See how both are stock looking, but they are larger, and look nice and clean. Nothing too crazy or fancy...

Those look fuckin clean. The ones on the magnum look like the Ram SRT 10 wheels. i love the look of the first charger

SILVER-ES · Post by **SILVER-ES** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:27 am

Nasty, 24's are far too big. When the spoke of the rim is wider then the sidewall something is wrong.

The viper replicas look good, but that is because those are 22's. Anything over 22 is overkill. Hell, in my opinion anything over a 20 is overkill.

Needs a bigger tire. Looks like rubber bands.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 8:59 am

hell, my opinion anything over 16" is overkill unless it's absolutely necessary to clear the calipers. That's the ONLY way i can justify a large rim... ONLY way

then again, i drive tiny cars with small rims. my festiva rolled on 12's for christs sakes

15 was the max rim you could fit

Oh for goodness sakes, what the hell is wrong with people? Ruined a perfectly good car. I say send the damn thing to the crusher now.

Or just replace it with smaller wheels.

Someone put viper wheels on a Neon!

I test drove one yesterday. It was the most annoying test drive, I couldn't go anywhere, because people kept crowding around on me. The highway was fun, let them look for a minute or two, then tap the brakes, find an opening, and gun it

Great car, its quiet, drives very nice, hard to keep the rear end planted around corners though...

i enjoyed it............scared the shit out of the salesman riding shotgun though, lol

I have better perks at my dealership, I am personal friends with the actual owner, his son (who manages the service bay), the general sales manager, and a couple of the sales people.

I was handed the keys and a dealer plate, and was told to put 50 miles on the car...

NiteHawk · Post by **NiteHawk** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 3:39 am

nice deal...

03_SXT · Post by **03_SXT** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 11:30 am

I think I enjoyed the Magnum SRT8 more so than the Challenger. I had that wagon for a weekend, and it was great, going around scaring and startling people with the grunt of the engine (stock exhaust is way to quiet)...

I kind of enjoy the whole sleeper thing, some of the kids around town got there asses handed to them from that wagon...

Remind me never to buy a car from that dealership.

eh, that shit happens at every dealership. if it doesn't happen there, it happens on the production plant lots. (i know, i used to park BRAND new cars for jeep.

)

SILVER-ES · Post by **SILVER-ES** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 2:15 pm

I'm sure you didn't put 50 hard miles on them racing? More like 2-3 right?

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 2:19 pm

you'd be surprised what i did to those cars....

did you know a jeep wrangler Rubicon can climb a wall in 4low, and teeter at an angle?

or that a charger can jump a hill at 80mph and be fine? (even after bottoming out on landing)

how about a liberty being able to "drift" around a mall corner at excessive speeds?

well, i know these things

Yes, as can a Grand Cherokee.

If that Charger was silver, and is now my car, I hate you!

Eh, this one doesn't bother me.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 2:27 pm

Lets see... what else did we do to those things...

-Tied a liberty to a pole in the ground and just kept pulling until the tires roasted off about 20% of the way

-played bumper cars a few times by accident, and just moved those cars somewhere on the lot, changed the codes, and called them "lost" (no one would ever find out until we closed a lot down... THOSE were fun days)

-the amount of mud those wrangers can go though... my god

they made the mistake of storing the cars at an old horse race track and the local racing track.... alllll mud. those things would sink in GOOD

-speaking of that race track, we got to take the cars around a few times. almost smashed into a wall in a ram...

-killed the transmission in about 5 libertys until i was told to stop shifting without the clutch

-made the drive shaft break in 2 wranglers...

don't worry, we didn't get many chargers in. those arn't built in toledo. wranglers and libertys are what you should watch out for

the managers actually encouraged us to do this shit too... everyone is over-worked and under paid in some shitty working conditions. what do you expect?
