I will obviously see a decrease in improvement (most likely) the more city driving I do, and will have more accurate results as the the ACTUAL MPG I am getting once I do several tanks of hand calculating, but the bottom line remains the same. The wheels gave me a 25% increase in fuel economy on the highway, just as I and many others had predicted.

No more from me. After 68 miles AND from an overhead comupter that is known to not be accurate, can you say that you have increased your mileage 25% I am not flaming you, as it may seem....I like your rides, your truck looks WAY COOL, Lambo the same. I am just a non believer inthis situation, and to those that DO believe, more power to you. Go out and buy those rims and tires and tell me you can get the supposed mileage increase. Anyways, that is all from me, and maybe when you get your CTD broke in, it will get ANOTHER 25% increase in fuel economy. Good luck.

There are the rest of the pics.

I will try to answer all of the questions posed (even though I did in my writeup which some of you did not read! )

(1) They are American Force Wheels. 22.5" Alcoa's with the upgraded Sumitomo traction tires in 255/70/22.5 size. They are inflated to 55psi. With the kit, came the wheels, adapters, hubs, and lug nut covers. Shipped to my door was $5,000. I have not had them balanced (for that MUST be done on the truck at a semi place), but I can tell you that even at 75, no wobbles.

(2) The overall diameter of the tires are 36.555"

(3) There is NO rubbing at all. All that was required was trimming a 3"x10" piece of the inner fenderwell plastic from the front of the REAR wheel well as it was resting against the tire.

(4) I put them on myself, HOWEVER, I will NEVER do that again. First of all, the Dodge jack doesn't get the truck high enough to put the new wheels on; I had to use my floor jack with wood blocks to get enough height. The rears were ok because I jacked the truck up in the middle from the diff. housing, but had to use my other jack to stabalize the truck and keep it from tipping. The wheels and tires are VERY heavy; **** near broke my back getting them on! Just pay the extra money to have some place do it for you. You will be happy (your wallet might not, but your back will be).

(5) iker42, the Lambo specs are as follows (i will give you the new specs as I am in the process of modifying it).
2003 Murciélago
19x9 HRE 547 Wheels in front & 20x13.5 HRE 547 Wheels in rear (not shown in the gallery pics for the change is very recent) with black spokes and polished outer lip

Car is lowered 3/4" front and rear with new Ohlens suspension and front end lift

Carbon Fibre racing seats, carbon fibre interior, and custom stereo system with flip out head unit, 10" sub behind passenger seat and iPod in armrest. 5-Channel Amp in boot along with 6-Disc Changer

Carbon Fibre "eyelids" and exhaust diffusor

Smoked Tailights and side markers

Custom headers, cams, exhaust manifolds, and pipes (all 4 cats deleted)

All fastners changed from steel to titanium

Brembo GTR 15" 8 piston calipers on all 4 corners.

Converted to RWD

Upgraded Sintered Clutch

Lightweight Flywheel

Ceramic coating on all internals

Lightweight control arms

New ECUs

Motor bored out from 6.2 to 6.5L

Redline increase from 7600 to 8700

Shorter Gear Ratios

Carbon Fibre & Magnesium Race wheels (62 lbs. for ALL 4 wheels combined, without tires)

Approximately 600-630 RWHP N/A power

200 SHot of Nitrous for FUN!

It will be the fastest, lightest, most heaviliy modified Murciélago in the world (at least that anyone knows of). Conservatively 5.5 lbs. per HP, far better than an Enzo. Will smoke just about anything on the road-especially 0-200.

I think that answers all of the questions.

(6) I am dropping the Dodge off tomorrow to start the work being done on it:
ATS Twin Turbo
MBRP 5" Turbo Back Exhaust
AFE Stage 2 Intake
FASS 150 GPH
Pac Brake PRXB
SBC 3850 Twin Disc Clutch
Edge Juice w/ Attitude
Autometer Cobalt Series Gauges (EGT, Fuel, Boost)
Bushwacker Fender Flares
Bully Dog 100HO injectors
Fire Ring Head Gasket

My girlfriend thinks all of us have a genetic mutation that causes us to lust after all things mechanical, and all things fast. It is funny, you find the same people with the same addictions on all of the auto related message boards. All it takes to get us out of hiding is a little bait.

Amazing cars. A good friend of mine just traded in a 2004 911 for a 2004 heavily modified ZO6, that is putting around 550 hp to the ground. You can't beat the way it feels to be thrown back into your seat at 75, and not be able to lift your head until ~175.

d wiggs. why not put on an SRT10 hood for extra highway breathing on the intake since you are putting on the cold air intake box. I got mine from ramairhood.com painted with the new grill for about $1000 shipped.
