I decided to retain the Silver on Gray look I have now. These will be wrapped nicely by the Eagle F1 All Seasons 225/40/18.

I'm a fan of cheaper-than-BBS prices :) Eric has the same wheels in black and I liked the way they looked. Gotta wait until August though :(

Rich, mine are AZA Z2's, they are VERY similar, you can order those NOW for less than $155 I believe

I went with the ASAs due to the 52mm offset, no shipping, and free mounting/balancing once they get in. Not seeing anything on AZA in Google....only found some on WheelMax.com and not anything that will fit my car.

Nice looking Rich. Any reason you didn't go for 235's?

I may be able to with a 52mm offset, but I had already purchased the 225s in anticipation of a 45mm offset, with which I would have had to roll my fenders for 235s to not rub. Besides, 225s will fit perfectly and 235s might bulge at the top.

Nice! Finally a clean looking wheel in the age of hideous, ugly, gaudy rims on every dodge on the street. Is it just me, or does everyone else see the ugliest rims on newer Dodge vehicles?
