He's not on here I don't think, but I remember seeing those pics a while back.. It's a sick Jeep, but the 28's are about 8 inches too big. lol

Lol I would never go with 28's ever, but it's still pretty cool to see that its been done.

[LO.7]

Agreed. It's def an eye catcher.

[B.P.O.D]

yeah that is insane!!! but 22 are the absolute biggest imo!

[LO.7]

Anything over 22's in a mid size suv is overkill. 24's+ on a Tahoe, Suburban Yes, WK NO.

[B.P.O.D]

^^^ i agree!

[White WK Swagga]

I like the 26" wheels he had on but if they were 22" and dropped would be nice.

[DAVY27]

eye catcher...yes. but ehh lol. u got 2 have the trademark jeep grill.

[White WK Swagga]

Yeah thats jeeps signature. You gotta keep the 7 loop grill...

[Dylans3960ccs]

[White WK Swagga]

So does the Infinity FX45 has 22" factory wheels

[LO.7]

So does the Infinity FX45 has 22" factory wheels

Factory 20's.. I would trade in the wk ASAP for a FX45.

[White WK Swagga]

Sorry it's 21" on the FX50. That truck is a beast!!! But it's $58k to start.

[LO.7]

No kidding. I was looking at used FX35's a while back. They have pretty high resale values.

[Dylans3960ccs]

I heard that they have no souls...

[White WK Swagga]

I seen a murdered out FX that looked sick. Even the V6 FX35 is fast as hell. I was going to buy my friends at the end of his lease. He only does like 8k a year cause he travels for work. It's fully LOADED with that orange kinda color interior. It's so sexy!!! I think it's a 07 or 08 cause it hads the clear led tails. Last I heard he was trading it in for the new one. I'm supposed to meet up with him tonight though.

[Dylans3960ccs]

[Dylans3960ccs]

my brother just set off the alarm in the house and it's been going off for like 5min!

[White WK Swagga]

I like the all black wheels w/o the chrome lip better.

[LO.7]

I like the all black wheels w/o the chrome lip better.

me too.. I have to go back to that look with the black wheels w/ polished lip for my winter set up..:(

[White WK Swagga]

I wonder how my white Jeep would look with black gloss SRT reps?

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

LO.7 if you go to get rid of your truck in the next year I got dibs on your wheels...

[LO.7]

I wonder how my white Jeep would look with black gloss SRT reps?

Personally I would say pretty hot.. I love the look of lighter colored exteriors on all black wheels..

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

haha it's sticking around for a bit. I might hold out for the new 2011 Grand Cherokee that way I could most likely use the reps on that.

[White WK Swagga]

Damn... Lol

[Dylans3960ccs]

nice try . . .

[White WK Swagga]

Well one way or another I'll have a set of black srt or viper reps for next summer.

[Dylans3960ccs]

cool so are you gonna drop the jeep when you get the wheels?

[B.P.O.D]

yeah i might do the viper wheels too nate!!!! def gotta drop it a little too:) that is my plan:)

[LO.7]

Viper wheels should be ready soon no?

[White WK Swagga]

Yes I want to drop it about an inch or so.

[Chaoul1]

I was suppose to order the SRT reps about a month ago but I got into a hit and run situation. Now I think I might go with the Viper reps.

[B.P.O.D]

yeah those viper rims are cool!!!

[Chaoul1]

I just want to think them over though. I haven't seen a picture of a WJ with them. I have seen a WK though.

[Robert Palmer]

Yo Nate, imagine having these wheels with our roads? :lol:

[White Chocolate]

Hmm lol how did this end up as a seperate topic? It started off in the random topic thread.....trippy...

[Scottina06]

it was moved here because its a tech topic and not off topic

[White Chocolate]

Gotchya, sorry about that

[08Hemi]

Who has a pic of a WK with the Viper wheels?? Please post if you have it...

[Scottina06]

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Gotchya, sorry about that

its all good bro......:thumbsup:

[Marlin]

i wanna put 30's on myWK... does anyone know if I need to trim "the bolt"?

[Scottina06]

no...no trim needed.....LOL....unless you go 33's

[Marlin]

Ok cool, so, if if I go with 30" rims with a 33" tire, how much will I need to trim "the bolt".
Do I actually need a tire or will a strip of conveyor belt work??? (you know, cut it to length and staple gun it together)

And will I have any other rubbing issues?

Sorry if these questions seem stupid, I don't know much about mechanical stuff.

[Scottina06]

no issues....but instead of the staple gun I suggest black duct tape to match better. I have some spare belt if needed

[Marlin]

Duct tape? Really? Do you mean the stuff that you like join wires with or the stuff that I've like seen on racing cars when they tape them together and stuff?

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

Oh and I gorget, the belt spare, i don't know if I can do it myself, not good with my hands so like would you be able to do it for me if i tell you how wide the wheels are?

[NHWK05]

That is the stupidest thing i have ever seen, anything over 22 it to much IMHO.

stuff on race cars-----the packaging has ducks on it. You could also do red tape for that racer look. i even used the red tape for racing stripes....

yes....but I only have enough for one 30" wheel......I'll make the first and you can copy it.

[NHWK05]

Who has a pic of a WK with the Viper wheels?? Please post if you have it...


22's.

[Marlin]

No no no ^^^^ they measure up as 24's if you put it to scale.

Don't be misled gents!

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

And thanks scott, now I see why you're so highly thought of around here :)
I'll let you know when I have ordered my 30's.

Oh my sincerest apologies master of the cock, i mean Viper reps. :D


LOL, i guess thats what i get for listening to what i read on the red site, on there someone said 22's. Guess not. Big surprise. :D

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

They look way to big for me any way. Id like to see them in a 18" or 20" rim.

[Marlin]

My friend, if it's easier for you, you may now refer to me as "The Cockmaster" :D

[White Chocolate]

God those SRT Viper wheels look amazing, why hasnt someone tried putting them on yet?

[White WK Swagga]

Yo Nate, imagine having these wheels with our roads? :lol:

Forget about it. Imagine driving on the FDR with those. In NYC you wouldn't even make it to the highway with those. With 28" you could only pull in and out of your drivevay loke a hot wheels. LOL

[B.P.O.D]

hahaha yeah the first pothole(outside your driveway,garage) would crack that rim in half!!!!

[White WK Swagga]

Just the hump at the end of my driveway to get on the street would crack the rim. LOL You know he can't go over 30mph in that and the ride must br horrible..

[Scottina06]

God those SRT Viper wheels look amazing, why hasnt someone tried putting them on yet?

they arent available for sale yet bro.....so no one has them. Last we heard a company was looking to test their repros on an SRT8 to check fitament.

[NHWK05]

So how did that person with the jeep on the red site get those on that wk? are they real viper rims?

[Scottina06]

LOL....thats a photoshop! Good one huh?

[NHWK05]

LOL....thats a photoshop! Good one huh?


Really? DAMN!, I have seen alot of photoshops but that is a really good one.

[White Chocolate]

Aren't the replicas for sale on ebay?...they are in black or chrome...maybe im wrong...

[LO.7]

The SRT8 replicas are, but not the Viper wheels as of yet.

[Scottina06]

if they are....thats news to me

[w87will]

Doug sent me these pics awhile ago of the Viper wheels. 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the rear.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/w87will/Viperrep.jpg

[White WK Swagga]

Thats one hell of a photo shop... LOL They look a lil small. I guess the tires need to be dressed cause I can tell it's brand new in the pic. IMO the truck should be dropped a lil.

[B.P.O.D]

i would hope those viper reps came in chrome...

[Scottina06]

dang...is that WK lifted? Looks to be....

wheels look nice...but I dont think they clear the Brembos just by those pics.....

[White WK Swagga]

It looks new on a lot with lug nuts missing...

[KITSOS]

28's = no way

20-22 max

[NHWK05]

The jeep deff needs to be dropped a bit, are these factory viper wheels?

I Love the look but i hate that finish, either, chrome, polished, black finish would look alot better with less suspension.

I can tell it's brand new in the pic. IMO the truck should be dropped a lil.

Look at the second pic front tire, nitto tires.

[Scottina06]

I'm guessing thpose are pre-production wheels for test fitament

[White Chocolate]

Looks to me like they are on ebay, or are these not them? http://cgi.ebay.ca/22-SRT-10-02-08-SRT10-Dodge-Ram-Chrome-Wheel-Rim-Tire_W0QQitemZ350236968384QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotor s_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item518bc005c0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

[NHWK05]

That would make alot of sense.

[Scottina06]

yes....but those are for the dodge ram with the 5x5.5 lug pattern. the wk and wj have a 5x5 or 5x127 lug pattern

[NHWK05]

Thats the wrong bolt pattern for fit a WK, the WK reps are not in production yet.

oh shit sorry I totally missed the 5.5 part, lol I took a quick glance, sorry bro haha:thumbsup:

[Scottina06]

its all good bro.....could happen to anyone.

[w87will]

In his email he told me the Viper Reps would NOT fit the SRT8. So I guess they wont clear the Brembos scott.

[Scottina06]

yeah....I could tell by the pics....or atleast thought they didnt

[NHWK05]

So are they going to make 22" SRT reps so scott can get some?

[Marlin]

IMO, the viper reps will need to be 22's + to look good, in a 20 the design just makes them look small.

[Scottina06]

I agree^^^^^^

[Robert Palmer]

Oh shit. Nate was right about those pics. :lol:

[Scottina06]

Oh shit. Nate was right about those pics. :lol:


how was he right?

[Robert Palmer]

Everyone said no those pics do not exist and they are photoshopped. :lol:

[NHWK05]

I guess i stand alone on this one, i would love those viper reps in those pics of that white wk just a different finish.

[Dylans3960ccs]

machined finish. (drools)

[White Chocolate]

I guess i stand alone on this one, i would love those viper reps in those pics of that white wk just a different finish.

I would also probably grab a set, 22" black rims, mhmm pure sex! I like the photoshop looks good

[Dylans3960ccs]

ultimate photo shop!

[White WK Swagga]

Oh shit. Nate was right about those pics. :lol:

I was trying to tell you Joe. I'm Rick Mothaf*ckin James!!! Now you and Irf own me a drink... And I mean top shelf stuff... LOL

[Scottina06]

the white WK with the silver Vipers isnt photoshopped

[White WK Swagga]

Yeah Scott. I was trying to tell everyone that. They tried to shut Rick down. LOL

[1 GRAND]

I have 32's on a 1994.





O wait I was talking about tire size. :lol:

[White Chocolate]

Heres a site I found, I don't know if they are legit or not, but they say the bolt pattern is the same as ours, could they possibly be the real deal????
