When you get your wheels mounted up, please post a close up pic of the center hub. I'm also looking for wheels, but will only consider ones that cover the disk brake hub.

Sure thing Caddy. Im concerned now as another member said he had to use spacers to get them to work, DTD again assured me they should bolt right up and not need them. Not sure how this will all turn out this time. I just dont get it, how the heck are we supposed to know of wheels will fit our cars or not? There doesnt seem to be any definitive answer, just trial and error.

You're supposed to take your car to the store, pick out the wheels, and let them figure out. Don't worry that the wheels stick out like Mattel HotWheels and there are only three threads holding the lug nuts on.

We have to rely on the wheel purchases of those who have gone before us and posted the good (and bad) results. Keep up the good work!

I am interested in these wheels as well, but can't find info if they are a direct bolt on in the front with no spacers AND what the offsets are. I have a 2004 that is lowered and need a wheel with at least a +42. +45 would be best.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Theyre available in a few different widths and offsets: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...14.3|4.5&rw=-1

Whether theyll bolt right up or not though is anyones guess. DTD says they will, but theyve been wrong before. Its a crap shoot.

The hub on the TSW Vortex isn't even round, it's more like the old Chrysler logo.
