[Chrysler300] Wire Wheels vs. Stock Wheels & Covers

["Rick Ehrmann" <tc440@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happy New Year and let's hope for a better 2005 300'ers,

Here's a minor question in the scheme of things, but a question nonetheless:

Bruce's Mardi Gras red 300G coupe has Chrysler-style wire wheels. They look good on the car. But are they practical? This car will be driven long distances such as to the Spring Meet in Detroit. It has bias-ply tires that will be replaced with 225/75/15 Coker BFG's ("S" rated) with 2.75 inch whitewalls. The current wire wheel/bias ply combo is a pain in the rear. Every 4 or 5 days, two of the tires lose half their air. The tires appear to be new with no tread wear. The wheel/tire seal may be poor. Do the wire wheels tend to be leaky?

Maybe we should find 4 stock wheels and wheel covers to mount the Cokers on. What do you think?
