    Anyone replacing stock 18" wheels and not adding weight?

    I haven't been tempted so far with my stock 18" 2006 R&T wheels to change them because I'm worried about hurting performance by adding more weight. Are there any good wheels out there that won't add weight and hurt performance?

    Its going to be hard to find a set of wheels as light as the stockers.
    I havnt noticed any change in performance since I went up to the stock SRT8 20's

    You'll have to go with a forged alloy wheel. Last year the pickings were slim with our 5-115 bolt pattern. I have Forged Tech 20" FT31. MPSCRT31 is the model number from Mopar Super Center. With Toyo Proxes S/T 255/45R20 V rubber they come in about 6 lbs heavier than the R/T Conti combo. Others are lighter. Look at Weld EVO products as well.

    I replaced the stockers with Boze ZE Forged two piece 20x8.5 and they are lighter.
