    Question Help Needed

    Can someone, anyone, tell me what the rims are on the Magnum in the screen shot of the "Photochopper (Fitting Room)" at www.1000rims.com? Or if they even exist (there's a story/explanation behind this particular question)? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Oh, the "Wheel/Tire Comparer" is pretty neat as well. It gives a lot of info that people usually ask when they are considering larger rims, tires, etc. Check it out. All the info is updated automatically when you change any of the parameters.

    "These wheels are NOT real, simply pictures, just design samples" Sorry, Charlie. However, they look like the 14-spoke wheels from a 2004 VW Golf R32 AWD. A similar wheel that will fit the LX is the Asanti AF122 20-spoke, but they are BIG bucks!

    Thanks. I just can't understand why someone would go through all the trouble of putting together a preview program (or whatever it's called) such as the "Photochopper (Fitting Room)", and take the time to put in wheels for people to search for their cars that DON'T exist instead of using the time and effort to actually put in pictures of REAL wheels that you actually carry. Like, say, TireRack.com. I just don't understand it.

    OK, rant over. I've seen the Asanti, but my heart nearly stopped when I saw the prices.

    I kinda like these: http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_wheel...=MSR&model=122

    I found these. They are far off of what I originally found/asked about at the beginning of this thread.

    Click on "Wheels" and check out the Design LS Black Polished.

    Here's another wheel that caught my attention:

    But, I'm betting neither one fits.

    I think that I have found some rims that I would consider....since I can't have my vectors.

    I like the Boss Motorsports 308. I just can't decide between the 17" and 20" (I have the 18" R/T rims on my SXT). The 20" rims have an MSRP of over $400, but you can find them for just over $200 online. I found a local shop that will get them form me for $740. I don't know what the price is for the 17" rims.

    Now, I just need to pick out some new tires.

    Any thoughts/opinions on rim size and/or tires?

    There is only one size of the Boss Motorsports 308 that will fit your car and it is the 20 x 8.5" with a 10mm offset and 5-115 bolt pattern, part # 3086-2815. You could go with a 255/45-20 size tire and it would look great.

    You're right. I missed that. Theree are only 2 different bolt patterns offered on the 17" size. Darn...and I had pretty much talked myself into the 17s, too.

    OK, I checked the site that jay211 suggested, and I found some Centerlines that I like as well. So, now I'm considering these 2 different rims. The Boss 308s only come in 20" while the Centerlines come in 17", 18", and 20".

    Opinions, suggestions....anyone?

    The tires on that photochoper picture are what get me! I've been searching for white-lettered tires and can't seem to find any that come in 18" size...uggh. Wish someone made them (preferrably BFG, but at this point I almost don't care who makes them).

    I really like the Goodyear Eagle NASCAR tire, but they are only offered in 14", 15", and 16".
