I'm sure a lot of you guys remember this random snap I posted about this flushed out Charger. At that time it was still a work in progress. In the comments, a hot debate started regarding the wheels and about the fact it was a domestic ride... at least for our American readers. In the meantime, I've continued to follow the build thread and just saw these pictures being posted of the finished product.

I'm still amazed at the amount of presence this car has. It just looks like something from a comic book with its outrageous lines.

I found it funny that some of the commenter's on the random snap post complained about the fact it wasn't looking clean. This time, Artee, the owner of the car washed it for this photo opportunity. Another thing Artee did was lower the car some more with BC coils. He also used spacers to get the wheels sitting just right.

Wheels are still the same Viper Reproductions 22sx10 all around with +22 and they are wrapped with 256/30/22 Yokohama tires. The Brembo brakes are standard on the SRT version so there is no need to replace them.

Just picture this car rolling up alongside you. Love these rolling shots of cars with a healthy drop and awesome wheels.

You would almost forget that this car has 450bhp, more than enough to smoke those rear tires. For more images check out handsomegarage on Flickr.

Despite how uncool this car is sometimes portrayed or even tuned and styled, this one in particular is very nicely done up. Hella Chicago Style Deep dish rims FTW

Haha I love it. However that might be because I'm from the UK and I've never seen - and probably never will - one of these cars on the road. I suppose people are put off importing US cars because of the lack of interior build quality - sorry it has to be said - and it's just easier to buy a beemer or whatever. Only hardcore US car fans will get one of these to the UK but they'll definitely stand out from the crowd and have one of the coolest 4-door cars around!

Oh man, I LOVE OEM+ style tuning. This car just looks right, and I'm not even a fan of the Charger.

Those are Dodge Ram SRT-10 wheels, not viper reps.

They look damn perfect on this car though. I wouldnt change a thing about it.

Hey, thank you guys again for a feature. These are indeed called "Viper Reproductions" but they do look more like SRT10 Ram ones I admit. Thanks again, and don't forget that I am still working on my stance, it should be done this spring. =]

Given the choice between the Charger and a lot of the other new 'muscle cars' I would take the others, but this is a very fine example of the breed. Very mean, and it's one of the few cars that can pull off wheels that big without looking stupid.

Jasper said:

Looks great! Viper reps look awesome on any LX platform car.

For everyone who wants to dispute about what wheels they are, All Rams have a 5x5.5" bolt pattern. 300s, Chargers, Magnums, and Challengers have a 5x115mm bolt pattern. Vipers are 6 lugs.

it would be great if there were just a few more lx platforms this clean looking. just so gangster. sick shots too.

Papa Yosh said:

To RacerrRex. My main reason i hate chargers is because of the title not the car. Chargers use to be an amazing two door muscle car. Now its a family car with some muscle. And its not that its a four door car. Chasers are amazing but they didnt start out as a two door legend, I do like this car but its whats done to it and the time and effort.

March 8, 2010 10:44 PM [flag as inappropriate] Speedhunters

Aretee said:

I agree with you about Dodge messing up by making this a four door. I honestly didn't buy it because of it's history though, I bought it cause it looks mean as hell, it's a huge car whch I need being 6 foot 6 and it's packing 425 hp stock. I totally understand your point though. Thanks everyone for your comments.

I like the Charger SRT-10, but I don't see what makes this one "stand out".  The wheels have okay fitment but are ugly as sin.

This car looks pretty damn cool, but it's a sad indictment of modern car design when they need 22" (!!!!!!) wheels to look in proportion...

I always had a love/hate relationship with the new Chargers. Only ones I ever tolerated were the SRT models, and this one is really nice. It's simplicity at it's best... with some power to boot. *thumbs up*

The SRT8 is no joke in performance, and this one looks clean. Too bad most people that buy Chargers and 300s seem to have a disdainful taste toward gaudy things. Most Chargers/300s out there that are "blinged" up are of the V6/low end variety, which are usually found in your local airport rental lot.

The Hong Kong Cavaliers said:

well, to say the least I'm disappointed in this feature. Still nothing more than a drop, wheels and simple bolt-ons according to the owner. I was hoping for more.

It is a nice car and I'm trying not to dog on it or the owner, but it's posted so criticism should be expected,  What makes it really different than all the other SRT-8s on big wheels?
