    For an SRT8.

    Great question cv.. You may want to shoot a PM over to Erik (Hemi31). He would probably know that answer.

    Are these the 22" reproductions? If so, I've been considering these as well but don't want to pay too much of a weight penalty as well.

    Both the 20" and 22" are heavier than stock because they're cast, not forged, aluminum. I don't remember how much, but it was enough to make me seek out a set of OEM take-offs.

    I got my answer from another forum. 33lbs. vs. 31lbs. What I was told was that if I powder coated my stockers they would weight 33lbs. as well. Kinda hard to believe 2lbs. of powder coating but either way the penalty is not as bad as I thought. Probably as much as increasing tire size from 245/255 to 275's all around.
