What do you think of these... Bro  Got them off ebunk. 18x9 6" b.s. 18X10 6 1/4" b.s.With lugs,Locking lugs,chrome stems,delivered for 489.99$  We were gonna' put them on the Charger but now I don't know...I kinduv' like them.(I picked them out though.)Really like the brakes visible.I do believe they are lighter than my 17's.Not sure on the 18" size.I like the "modernness" of the big hoops. But am skeptical still.But I love the wheels.  :bricks1:   lookn fer tirez    :1zhelp:

What are you thinking for tires?  I'm running a 275/40-18 on the rear and a 235/40-18 on the front if you want some perspective.

I got a manual rack... makes it tough to drive slow. Not looking forward to an inch bigger patch up there. The 18's are growing on me. Thanks for the pic Scott... They really help me visualize. Yours looks great! I'd lower the front some. :2cents:  But that's me...    :poopoke:      Sweet ride dude!! :smokin:

You're welcome.  Wish I had more to post. The last two years have been so big.It feels  odd to not be tearing it apart.Oh well,Time to sand on the Charger.(new thread soon)Someday I'll get the sheet metal/glass together to go for paint. For now it's up on all fours getting a complete wipedown.Maybe some new frame connectors/XV rad. brace, and side-exit exhaust. With so many other projects I'll set my sights low this year.But I have many plans for her. Thanks to C-C.c I've done more than I ever imagined.   :cooldancing:

I've been gradually increasing the punishment on the front end.I think this was a result of some bad road conditions.The weather here wreaks havoc on the streets.Hot/Cold extremes.    Driving so much means constant wipe-downs. I spend a lot of time under there just cleaning.It's crazy how much it takes to keep it looking nice. The guy who helped me build the engine said "If you drive them...They will get dirty" :nono: He wasn't kidding. Find most problems then too though.   Bill's customer service has been simply outstanding.It's just a little thing,He got back to me in like 5 minutes.And is sending a set out Monday.   :ylsuper:
