As most of you know I own a neon, bolt pattern is 5 x 100 witch is shared by many old school ( 80's ) dodges.

This thread is off neons.org, take a look and give me a hand finding these rims. Or are these hard to come by ?

In a nut shell its about a %100 aluminum rim that only came on 1990 chrysler imperials I would like to find a set to paint and polish up.

I think I may have to hit up the local Junk Yards :thumbsup

Any help would be great.

those look 5X115. they look too large for 5x100

mmm that would be a nice cool find though


Edit... okay they look like it might be 5x100 but since they are supposed to have 5x100 i guess you cant argue with that.

Yes those are 5x100mm, skinny little 14's only on a few
year Imperials and something else I forget. Keep in mind
a similar width 14" steel rim, a little wider is not much more
weight than those but they are in fact the lightest factory
wheel in 5x100.

People have found them on other FWD Mopars, they are
surely swapped from time to time from donor vehicles.
Outlying junk yards and a feild trip, if found for sale
not worth the asking price. Dont overlook other models
when looking for them, 5x100 is a popular bolt pattern
on everything from Chevy's to Subies.

They will not clear large rear rotors/calipers!
89+Daytona's (Kelsey Hayes vented rotor setups), not
sure how big newer SRT rotors are.

Get some stock SRT-4 wheels, they are cheaper than dirt!!! (but they are 17's, lol. Except for the ACR's, they are BBS 16's, and really expensive still)

Rotational mass and footprint its still hard to beat an
old 15x7 and 225/50-15 rubber for drag racing and handeling.

11# Koseis and Falkens, 1.90 sixty foot times and enough grip
to scare a 911 thru the Browndeer onramp ;)
