Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
Those look right on that car. I like it! If I was on the market for a musclebound 2dr. That would probably be it, or a Shelby, or...Hell I couldn't make up my mind.LOL The scoot gives Me my HP rush when I need it, an I couldn't afford a musclecar too.

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
Not a big Challenger fan, but those wheels really do suit the car well. Nice choice!

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
The Challenger is everything the Charger should have been, sad what the Anti-Chrystler did to it. At least they got one right.
I dig the wheels, the gunmetal matches the accents very well... and I don't feel queer saying that because we're talking about a muscle car, lol.
I looked hard at the new Camaro, but I don't much like what the brand has become anymore.

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
Very nice looking car Brian! How do you like it? I am really glad to see they still build cars like these. The Challenger, Camaro and Mustang are doing a good job of getting people excited about cars again.

They kind of look like the old Cragar wheels that were so popular in the 70's.
FYI - If you want to see what different styles of wheels will look like on your car, this website has the tool to try them on.

If your car isn't in the database, you can upload one and use your own.

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
Gonna need more than that to spank a Mustang or a Camaro...like maybe some carbon bodywork to lose teh excess weight
I do like the new R/T's but I would take a strip model in pure white just to go play 'Vanishing Point'

Some of us have never stopped being excited about cars. We just weren't excited about domestic cars for quite a while

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
Its a blast driving it. I know its not the fastest out there its way too heavy but love the looks. Too much into it to beat the hell out of it. Not to mention its a Dodge it would probably fall apart. Its my first american car. Even though its made in mexico and canada. My Toyota is made in the states at least.

Am I the only one who sees something wrong here?
Take that wench onto a good road and wring her out. Clear the cobwebs out of the pipes(high rpms are the only way to do this)
If you think it will fall apart, why did you get it? We got a '04 Dak, had a '01 R/T ACR Neon, beat the crap out of both and they held on for the better part of ten years, aside from replacing RUSTY parts from being upstate.
Take that poor car out and DRIVE it, and quit profiling it down the main cruise

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
I worked in auto body for 7yrs and saw my share of Dodges crap out. A few friends have had nothing but trouble with Jeep and Dodge trucks. Love the looks but don't trust it over the long term. Believe me I drive it but from what Ive seen the quality control sucks. Passenger seat belt buckle was installed backwards,paint is loaded with dirt, and dashboard has a dip in passenger side. Scary how many guys have the same issues and worse. Im seeing door panels cracking and rocker panels as well. Sad that they came out with such an awesome car and can't work the bugs out.

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
I know vicious circle new springs would be key. Not sure I wanna deal with ground clearance issues. Too many things to buy where does it end

Very cool but I do not like the plastic facade covering the engine.

Bringing this back from the dead.
Brian,
I just purchased a 2011 Challenger R/T classic. My question is what upgrades have you done? and how much horse power have you gained after the mods?
Thanks,
Shooter

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
I did lower the car last month as well. I installed the Eibach lowering kit whick includes shocks,springs and sway bars. It was pretty easy but had to drop the rear to install the sway bar. Looks so much better after the 1.5in drop. Have to post new pics. Heres my mods:
mopar cat back exaust
mopar strut tower brace
jtl air intake
b&m short throw shifter
predator tune 93 octane
boss 338 wheels
billet catch can
If you have an auto the tune makes a visable difference. I love the car and the exaust sounds so much better. Id say I added at least 30hp. Go on challengertalk and ck out all the forums for the r/t.

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
Thanks. I have the Mopar cool air intake and front strut tower brace on order. Looking at putting STS twin turbo on it. However, I will have to wait until I can save up enough funds. I want to put ARH headers, high flow cats, and AFE exhaust on it. Then tune it with the predator 91. I need to find a place that has a dyno so I can see the gains in horse power.

Re: New wheels on the Challenger R/T
There is a guy by me who does tunes and dyno runs but I just didn't think it was worth the $600. Think Im done with my mods. Im pretty happy with the car now. I lucked out when I got mine Dodge gave 2k for parts so thats how I got the exaust,air,cover and tower brace. Gets expensive like any hobby. Good luck with the car.
