🔧 BUILD The Replacement for the Cobra. V: “Greasy’s Fuck Your Blower-Coyote, Super-Secret Stick-Shift Hellcat Build”

Damn thats light for a "larger" wheel

 

[greasy]

I am happy with the weight as well. The ET Street R's are like 32 lbs a piece so that should make the rear wheels 52 lbs a piece all in.

My Forged 20" wheels were the same way. The difference in weight in the front to back was due more to the hub mounting area than the wheel width. The design of the face and barrel is meant to save weight without having issues with strength. Computer-aided designs FTW!

The rears are a smaller diameter wheel.

I like that they have 7 slingshots, like the factory wheel. It would be cool to see one side by side with the factory rim.

New wheels are in and better than expected! Quality is top notch.

Fronts weigh 22 lbs per wheel and the rears are 20 lbs.

Damn. Those wheels look fantastic. Love everything about them.

Yeah I like that fact as well. Some guy had Alcoa make an 18” replica of the sling shots on the Hellcat forum years ago. Rather than go that route I figured I have a whole new set made.

Yep definitely the same ones as on my tamiya carpet racer.

My 90's younger self thinks it's radical that what's old is New Again

are these stock size and measurements for what the manufacturer offers or are they customer like the ones on the Mustang ?

These are custom, they took about 4 weeks to make. Went wider in the front and rear, smaller diameter in the rear. The offsets should put the wheel flush.

 

[Turk]

I’m confused, the rear wheels are smaller diameter than the front?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

yes, so that he can mount MEATS

Are these wheels gonna be used for drag racing only?

No, they will see both street and strip. I will be ordering another pair of rear wheels that are 20x10.5 (same exact wheel) for more twistie/turn driving.

Nice. Love that idea. Know what street tires you’re gonna go with? Planning on getting new wheels and tires for the r8 and not sure what to get. Leaning toward hankook for value.

For the drag rears which will be a Mickey Thompson ET Street R in a 305/45R18

For the Twistie rears it will probably be the Toyo R888R in a 305/35R20

For the fronts I am thinking the Kumho Ecsta PS91 in a 285/35R20

Jesus, you are going all out.

You can drive the car if you want and you'll understand why!

Too slow and boring. Thanks for the offer though.
