Hey guys,
I was just wondering if there is a difference in quality and fitment between the OEW and Factory Repo wheels? Are they hub-centric? Does anyone know how much they weigh?
Thanks guys...I'm leaning towards the OEWs, for they come in polished. I didn't see FR offering polished, just chrome and painted. I have an Overland and don't have any chrome on my rig.
Does anyone know if a 285 40 R20 will fit within the wheel well? I want a slightly smaller diameter tire...
is there a difference in quality between factory reproductions and oewheels? there is a bit of a price difference, does anyone know if it reflects in the quality?
I've only had them mounted for a few days, but have managed a short highway trip and enough local driving to say that I'm very happy with the tires. Wet highway I haven't done yet....but don't expect any issues. They are quiet and smooth.
I went with 255-45 for size....I wanted to keep my overall diameter as close to stock as possible in case I need to ever run my spare, and to avoid any speedo issues.
Here's the difference in shine factor...this is the rep in front of my stock chrome.
Chris, for you, I'd suggest chrome...only because you don't need to worry about road salt eating them and you've got chrome details on your Jeep already. Either would look great, but if you want to match your existing trim, chrome is the way to go. These reps don't give you the reflection like chrome does.
Ok, I Know this is and old thread, but it has a good question. And after 2 hours of searching threads I still don't have a good answer.
What is the exact weight of the SRT replica rims? Especially for the 20x9. I have found threads indicating that the 20x10 weighs 34lbs, but I'm not sure if that is for the OEM or the replica wheel? And no mention of the 20x9.
if milous has the correct srt wheel weights on his site.
stock srt front - 36.2 LBS
FR 20x9 - 35.9
stock srt rear - 37.6 LBS
FR 20x10 - 36.7 LBS
i have a freight scale in my garage and some extra FR wheels so i used a cardboard box to balance the wheels and then tared the scale and then measured each wheel.
So you weighed the FR wheels yourself. That's handy. The only way the stock wheels are heavier is if the replica wheels are an exact mold of the OEM wheels. That is, the cast wheels are less dense than the forged wheels, but exactly the same proportions with no extra metal reinforcement added. Why do you call them FR?
HOLY COW! I just realized that FR is like 5 miles from where I live! I can go over there and check out their wheels on the showroom floor. That means NO shipping. I can drive over, and have them mount them on the spot....
