They look pretty good IMHO. They'll probably look a little better painted black.

Question for you: Aren't Chryslers 5x115mm bolt pattern? I know the wheels will technically bolt on, but it would put a lot of stress on the studs once the lug nuts are bolted on and wouldn't allow the tapered lugs to seat properly.

They look really nice. Let us know if your wheels fall off, or have any other problems.

I wouldnt worry. Its only a difference of .35mm across the pattern. I would just use some hub rings and tighten by hand and torque.


Looks nice btw.

I have no idea. Just thought I'd mention it as a consideration if you ever noticed anything funny happening. Looks good though.

Like the last 2 posters, I'm a lil dissapointed. I was in full clown mode, but they actually look nice.

What kind of rubber you got on there?

Since the bolt pattern is different when you tighten the nuts you're putting a bunch of side stress on the studs, this is potentially quite dangerous, as it's not uncommon for wheel studs to break even with properly fitting wheels.

Got any more pictures? maybe a shot from the rear? I'd ask a wheel shop about re-drilling them to 5x114.3. It shouldnt be too expensive since its not much of a difference. It would be nice if they came wider in the rear.

I think those look awesome. I am also concerned about them not being the right bolt pattern. I would also put wider tires than a 215 on a 7.5" wheel. 225 should be a min.
