They are the same wheels as the Overland 20", just manufactured in 22."


Any rims for the 2012 Jeep SRT8 are probably going to have to be custom made due to size and brake clearance. Not to mention, who wants to put cheap wheelmax crap on the vehicle. They'll be heavy as hell, too.

I'm not sure 22" will be the right size. Might be too big and make the vehicle look too Matchbox car. I believe the SEMA with 22" has larger tires and a properly calculated speedo. Rears on the WK are 285/45/20 and the WK2 is only a 295/45/20. A 21" wheel may provide the same profile we are looking for as the WK has. I'm going to sit down some day and do an actual, true ratio photoshop with some quality wheel makers pics. If going with 22", rims would need to be 22x10 with a tire size of 305/35/22 to keep the same rolling diameter. Width would be a tad larger. 21's would be 21x10 with a 295/40/21 tire

You nailed it, the wheels on the new SRT8 are one piece forged, very strong and light weight. An equivalent 1 piece mono-block or 2/3 piece forged modular setup will run around $1000 EACH!

Do you really dislike these enough to part with at least $5000 (wheels plus tires).......:eek:

Gotta be honest, with the slightly larger tire size on the WK2.....I don't think they look good at all. Would definitely need the 22" factory repo's

I have Fiske FM10's on my 911...those brushes and celaning supplies look familiar.... ;-)

I have since gone to gun metal grey on my FM10's - hides a little more and not so bling for an old school Carrera

Yeah, those are on my Boxster S and although they are more difficult to clean their look and performance make it all worth while.

At least I'm not anal enough to own these lug nut hole cleaners :)



I don't think the SRT8 wheels will be all that hard to keep clean.

Alright I'm going to post it here because if y'all are anal enough to have lug nut cleaners then you may have an idea for me lol. My biggest pet peeve with all SRT vehicles is that they unload a ton of break dust and I can't keep up with it. I can keep the outside of the wheel clean, however it is the inner wheel that I can't clean, short of taking the wheel completely off and scrubbing. Any tips you guys may have learned for this little problem?
