how do you guys feel about chargers with rims?? - 2/10/2007 5:12:28 PM    sgutie87   Posts: 19 Joined: 11/20/2006 Status: offline i'm really digging the way other chargers around my area look with larger rims. i'm thinking of going 22" but i know my car wont perform as well as with the stock rims/tires.  how do you guys feel about a decision like this? will this violate my warranty even though some chargers are sold with custom 22s? < Message edited by sgutie87 -- 2/10/2007 5:13:43 PM > Post #: 1

Just goes to show you what I know about things .  What size are they?  Those are outstanding.  I don't think the "black" wheels I've seen would look as good on your car with your color.  Man, that is nice!  I gotta get the side moulding off of mine. Maybe tomorrow. dave _____________________________ (in reply to baldyloxs) Post #: 7

As soon as I burn these off I'm going with atleast a 35 .... but on the flip side of that, I am suprised at the ride i do get with the 22's, I expected worse. I also have a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier on 18's that has been lowered so the Charger rides like a Cadillace to me. hahahaha. I plan to airbag my charger so with the 30's I will get a lower drop but I'm all tossed up about going to the 35's... got for it... I gotta get some pics up of my charger ....hmmmm.. ok good luck ..
