17" Dart SXT wheels with Potenza RE970AS Pole Positions.

Needless to say, it handles better than with the 16" Kumho LRR tires that the car came with, the Bridgestones are also quieter and it rides better as well. It also looks a hell of a lot better than it does on the Neon-esque hubcapped steelies.

Congrats! It's amazing how much it doesn't look so cheap anymore. Those wheels are fantastic! Great choice!

Thanks! The fact that it looked so cheap always bugged me. Those hubcaps scream 90s econocar to me and the steelies look like ahit underneath. It wasn't cheap, but it could have been more expensive and it looks great.

As for my hospital visit, yesterday I was breaking up a pallet at work with a sledgehammer and a piece of wood flew up and hit me in the nose/upper lip. Just 4 stitches, but that could have been worse as well.

Right after I win the lotto. It'd be a simple swap and I would buy one so I wish the facroty would do it.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more about the wheels. I really like the color too. The wheels really make the car now. Glad to hear (read?) you are OK. Stay that way please :)

I'll be extremely disappointed if they don't do at least something in a Dodge with that engine

Haha thanks, I do try to stay that way but I suffer from occasional bouts of clumsiness and bad luck.

The Dart is a perfect candidate but no one is buying and it almost seems like Chrysler has given up on it. 230ish HP would be perfect in this car.

I think since they're not selling well, they're giving up on it for now to focus on the 200, then they'll come out with a new Dart with that engine(hopefully).

Nice Mazda wheels.

j/k glad you finally pulled the trigger on them. Makes the car look 1004% better!

I was never a big fan of the Dart but those wheels with that blue make it look really aggressive and nice.

You bought an Acura TL? Sweet!

Thanks, they really do. The hubcaps looked dorky. I would have rocked the steelies but they are a bit rusty already and I'm too lazy to paint them. Now that they're off the car I probably will at some point for eventual winter tires.

We can hope. The Cherokee is doing very well as I expected, and the 200 should be a decent hit as well. The current 200 did fairly well and it's shit.

The new one looks great. If they use the 1.75L in one of them, you know all of them are getting it.
