I tried to attach the pic, but it won't upload, sorry. Go to www.moparsupercenter.com on the left click on Charger 2006 , then click on the + aftermarket , it's MC2's wheel RT19. Looks killer IMHO. Mike

Folks if you are using Mozilla Firefox the link will not produce the aftermarket output. I was able to finally see this by using IE.

As for the wheels. Looked at all four of the MCRT models and would agree that the RT19's are the best looking of the bunch. But I just cannot get over the $2295 price tag ($573.95 per) JUST for the wheels alone. Maybe I am stuck in a timewarp, but I remember buying S/S Cragers for my old '69 Charger and paying less than $50 per. Yes those were '77-'79 dollars, so I would expect the same to go for $100-150 per... but over $500 per then $250-$500 per for tires on top of that??? Whoa Nelly!! We're talk'n 3, 4, maybe even $5K for wheels and tires... just for some big chrome and skinny rubber.

$1320.. these days I would consider that reasonable. I would think that $250-$400 per paw for both wheels and tires a decent mod which as you said would give you the noticable looks. Boost in performance, maybe a little.

I was reading the speed ratings. Excuse me, but H's are fine for me. If I were doing more than 130 on ANY road or highway here in the US, they SHOULD pull me over and lock me up. Our roads (except maybe a few brand new concrete stretchs here and there) are not made to sustain speeds greater than that (they are not the autobahn guys).

Look again, I'm pretty sure the $2295 price includes the tires which were 255 45 20's.

My Bad!

From the site:Still a little steep for me, but not as outragious as I first thought. I have seen some rims going for 800+ per wheel though... EEOUCHIE!!
