In the Market for Wheels

I know they're truck rims. That's why I'm having difficulty finding something similar for a car.

If I could score a set of police rims for $75/each, I'd jump on it.

I know where they park the squad car after the shift. You will need to bring these items. black clothing, a speed jack, fully charged heavy duty high ratio drill (for lug nuts) a getaway truck and driver. I'll only charge you $25/all for telling you where and when though.

Maybe this???

The first one I know, but the second one I don't think is.

yea the second one is. it has fake bead locks on the outside for looks.

bead locks are for offroad rock climb buggys and sand dune trucks that have to air down their tires to the point where get traction but they want to prevent the popping off the bead of the wheel if they get hit on a rock just right.

I wonder why it comes up in a compatible wheel search for a 2002 Intriped 17" wheel then, on WheelsNext.com?

don't know but there is no way in hell it would work. maybe their search only goes by bolt patern and not offset. any wheel for the intrepid would have the lug mounting surface very close to the face. no deep dish or large offset wheels work for front wheel drive. the hub mounting surface on front wheel drive is too far out. its the same reason awd LX models have a +47mm offset and the rwd have +20mm

They will fit my Intrepid. I don't know what to do about the center cap, though.

Just cram a pepsi can in the hole for 66 bucks you don't need center caps lol

If they take the same center caps as my viper rims, I have some in black. I have some Mopar M gel center caps, also.

You really want to look like a cop!

Is there? Anyone? I didn't think so since I can rotate my wheels on both my FWD and my RWD vehicles.

Why would we hate? Looks like a good solution.

It's an extension of my "I drive a boring car" way of thinking which is diametrically opposed to nearly every member of this forum's way of thinking. Although, I believe I can say that even though most would think Plain Jane is boring to look at, driving her is another story.

I do need this FWD rims as opposed to RWD rims question answered, though. Jon? Adam?

I'm also thinking that since these are OEM rims, I could probably get the centercaps from a dealer (and pay through the nose for them, of course).

I still like the pop can idea
