Since I traded the Contis in on a set of snow tires, I am quickly approaching a point where I'm going to need to either reuse the OEM wheels for my summer tires (and go through getting the snows remounted next fall), or buy a new set of wheels.

While I would much prefer getting some new wheels, I'm having a difficult time finding anything that suits me. The problem is that I refuse to put 22" wheels on my Magnum RT, I'm sorry, but I just don't like the way they look. As a last resort, I might consider 20", but I would really prefer to stick with 18".

I thought it might help other people in the same boat, to call for a listing of all of the LX compatible 18" wheels currently on the market.

In order to keep this listing more focused, lets agree to stick to these requirements: 18 inch rims only (although any width is permissable)
Must use the 5x115 bolt pattern (I don't care if your tire guy swears on his sainted mother's grave that 5x114.3 will work, let's stick to manufacturer specs here)
Either 15-30mm offset (for RWD) or 55mm offset (for AWD)

To kick things off, here are the 11 wheels that TireRack (http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?changeColor=Choose+Color&filterSize=18&filterFinish=&filterSpecial=Pricing&autoMake=Dodge&autoModel=Magnum+RT&autoModClar=RWD&autoYear=2005) is currently showing.



What have you found?

Have a set of 20's on mine but looking to sell. going to 22" front and 24" rear.
They are brand new and great shape. 2000 miles on the rubber.

I have the Zinik z01 Shoguns on mine. http://zinikwheels.com. I am extremely pleased with them, and get compliments all the time, so I know they look good to more than just me. They're an 18x8 and the stock Contis fit on them quite well.

I'll be replacing those, most likely, with the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS in 245/55/18 when the time comes.

If they will fit on the rim, I'd like to use the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 in 255/55/18.

Anyone have any thoughts on whether I can get away with a 255 on an 8" wide rim? I've also lowered it a bit with the Pro-kit springs. Not sure how much room I have to play with.

bigcustomwheels.com has a bunch listed now in various sizes. Even a bunch of models for the AWD.

Unfortunately, bigcustomwheels still thinks they know better than the manufacturer what bolt pattern should be used on the magnum.

I'm just not willing to risk my baby on their opinion of what will work (5x114.3) when it differs from the manufacturer spec of 5x115.

I might be willing to trust the opinion of a local tire guy, but not someone off of the internet.
