I am afraid that you will likely struggle to find much available in the UK, most wheels will have to be supplied/purchased from the US. The OZ wheels you mention will fit the SRT but obviously a smaller size and will likely affect the speedo etc.

Try speaking with Classics & Chrome in Hinckley Leicestershire if ypu'd like them chromed to UK standards! LE10 3BY

I've spoken with that palce and they would de-chrome my wheels. So I guess they'd be able to re-chrome them too. You would need to get the tyres taken off and the wheels completly stripped before they could have anything done about the chrome, otherwise it would contaminate his chemical tank. Bit of a ball ache but do-able with some travelling around.

Good point Dave, but, all SRT's read speed from the front wheel speed sensor, so you can change gear ratio, rear tyre / wheel diameter and rest assured your speedo will not need recalibrating, but if running 18" rear you will need to sort the handbrake cable routing. The 10 spoke '04 SRT wheels are not chrome, they are polished ali and then clear acrylic power coated. You can strip the power coat by hand yourself with a good paint stripper to soften (and not harm the metal of the wheel) but it takes almost a day a wheel to do, I know because I've done it (in prep to get a set of mine satin black last year). ...and remember at the time thinking, I wish I never started this!

N GTS, are you sure about this? if this is correct it makes life a lot easier,

From all angles, i have been told that they are chromed alloy, i hope you are right, can anyone clarify?

cheers

N GTS, you are correct with this, i just scraped a bit off and polished the ally underneath, obvious it is not Chromed, just clear laquered.

thanks M8,you are a star

Here's the set Nad and I did. The acrylic powder coat was soooo hard and a b&stard to get off, but worth it in the end......
