Anybody know who makes 22" or 23" street truck wheels? I see Nitto and Toyo advertising tires in these sizes and I'd love to get a set for my 98 Durango.I know Momo makes one 22", but are there any other choices? IP: Logged |

SEVERAL OTHER 22 & 23 INCH WHEELS BRANDS & STYLES ARE BECOMING AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
PACER WHEELS, BREVET WHEELS & SPORT METAL TO NAME A FEW OTHERS. UNFORTUNATELY YOU ARE AT THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN ALL BRANDS ARE UPDATING THEIR OFFERINGS AND SELECTION FOR THE COMING YEAR OR SEASON. ALL OF THE ABOVE BRANDS HAVE WEB SITES, THOUGH NEW STYLES WILL NOT BE SHOWN FOR SEVERAL MORE WEEKS. IF YOU CAN WAIT A BIT, YOUR SELECTION WILL QUADRUPLE(sp?) 23" WILL BE A TOUGH FIT ON A DURANGO, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH 22'S THOUGH. THE WIDEST APPLICATION FOR 22 & 23 INCH WILL BE FULL SIZE SUV & LIGHT TRUCKS. TAHOE'S, SUBURBANS, EXPIDITIONS FOR EXAMPLE. A 20 INCH PACKAGE WILL LOOK GREAT AND STILL BE VERY UNIQUE WHILE SOMEWHAT MORE PRACTICLE FROM A COST & RIDE / PERFORMANCE STAND POINT.
YOU WILL ALSO WANT TO KEEP IN MIND TWO FACTORS. ONE IS COST, THIS STUFF IS BRAND NEW AND WILL BE PRICY, WORTH IT THOUGH IF YOU WANT THE TICKEST & COOLEST STUFF AVAILABLE (AND THE LATEST) THE OTHER IS RIDE. THERE IS STILL SOME QUESTION ON MASS APPLICATION AS TO THE EFFECT THIS MASSIVE ASSEMBLY WILL HAVE ON RIDE IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERN IN THIS AREA. THE WEIGHT OF A 22" TIRE & WHEEL WILL BE AROUND 80 - 100 LBS, VERSUS 50 - 75 FOR OE TO A 18 OR 20 INCH PACKAGE. IT'S RELATED TO WHAT IS CALLED UN-SPRUNG WIEGHT. BRAKING CAN BE IMPACTED ALSO, YOU CAN GET A FEELING OF... WHEN AM I GOING TO STOP ONCE YOU FIRST APPLY THE BINDERS.
HOPE THIS HELPS, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY MORE INFO.------------------

Thanks for the tips. Looks like I've got to do a bit more technical research on the specs of these massive things. Also, I think I'll wait a while for more choices to hit the market.IP: Logged | |
