About LinkBacksFYI, I just bought a set of Challenger 18" wheels with Michelin 235/55's mounted on them for my Magnum. They look killer and give the car a lot more attitude. While I was doing the swap I decided to weigh both the Challenger wheel/tire combo and my old 17" SXT alloy wheel/tire with Goodyear 215/65's mounted to them. The combo weight for the old 17" SXT's are 46lbs and the weight for the new 18" are 52lbs. I never like to add unnecessary weight to a car but this is worth the penalty.

Here's my wheel/tire comparison:
(yes, they're filthy... sorry. Everything will get washed when it's above 30* for a while...)
On the left, Sport Edition KV5's, 20", with Yokohama Parada Spec-X 255/45/20. Weight = 61 lbs!
On the right, Stock AWD 18" wheels with Sumitomo HTR Z3 245/45/18. Weight = 50 lbs! They're also exactly 2" shorter overall diameter.
