    Do you do a lot of road racing Jon? Why do you think going forged is a must? I realize the strength of the rim is of particular importance, it's why I'm asking.

    Yup, very good reasons why...

    Also, if you go a two or three piece, you will only need to replace the piece that is damamged, rather than buying the entire rim.

    Weight is another reason. My 22's weigh approximately 16 pounds more than the stock rims. That is ALL 4 with tires and air.

    There are very few rims choices I've seen that I really would like have on my car. Foose nitrous rims = hate bolts around the rim. Viper replica rims = cast. Most of the forged options have the bolts or just don't appeal to me. If foose would make a 22" nitrous with no bolts and it was forged or the viper rims were forged those would be what I'd want.

    Ok that website made me realize just how picky I am. Out of the 1839 rims they claim will fit the Magnum SRT8, I found only 2 rims I would consider. Those two rims are the ones I already listed in this thread and those two rims have the same issue I listed in this thread. Now if I had gotten a charger instead I found about 5 or 6 rims I would like. :wallbash:
