Those were standard on the 2005 Copperhead. They are also available through Mopar, as an accessory.

The SET saves 35 lbs of rotating, unsprung weight. The look is macho, vs 10-spoke OE SRT wheels. Nice, deep offset.

We also have new Copperhead Track Wheels due in next week, silver powdercoat only, under $2600 PER SET OF FOUR!!!!!! Fits all years.

JonB --

Do you have any additional information on the Copperhead Track Wheels you mentioned? Same appearance as the sidewinders except for finish? Same weight? Thanks.

TommyLee,

I just bought a set and they look very good. They are made in Japan, which is OK and they fit the stock low pressure sensors perfectly.

I couldn't imagine they would be anthing but forged at that price, but could you give me your source? I can't find any specs on these wheels anywhere.

Thanks,

Dan

I have sidewinder's on my 06 coupe, and I just Fked my right wheel up. Took the wheel off to wash the brake dust from the inside of the wheel, and it slipped out of my hand's and fell flat on it's face . The good thing is that I was going to have them powered coated black. Just nicked the out edge of the wheel. I hope the powder coating will cover the damage up. Oh well live and learn,

I don't believe the 5 spokes that are optional on the '06's are the same as sidewinders. I haven't seen the '06 optional 5 spokes but from the various pictures including the factory website they do not look the same.
