Played hookie today and mounted my FR73 Demon Replicas (satin black) 9.5 fronts / 10.5 rears with MPS4S (275/40 and 305/35) all around. Bought new SRT flat black center caps and new TPMS all around. Bled the brakes while I was at it.

Definitely a big change from the Brass Monkeys that came with the car. And the stance is definitely better with the staggered setup.

I always liked 5 star wheels and wanted something a little different than the other OEM style 5 stars, but still remaining somewhat OEM looking, so I went with the replica demons. Definitely wasn’t trying to make my car look like a Demon; obviously it’s a regular body, old style HC hood and 20” wheels.

They are definitely growing on me and black looks much better on DG than the brass monkeys. Works out now I have a summer abs winter set of wheels/tires.

Thanks :). I’m going to keep them as a winter set. I tend to have two sets of wheels/tires for the Summer / Winter.

The previous owner curbed the shit out of the BMs. I touched them up myself, but would probably bother most people if it were their good set.

The BM looks good on certain colors but I agree the black Demon replicas look better on the Destroyer Grey

Agreed, BM just doesn’t quite work with Destroyer. The black demon reps look great.

I agree the Brass Monkey wheels don't work well with Destroyer Gray. My son just had his Velgen wheels powdercoated since he had scratches from some asshole hitting him in a parking lot 🤬. Figured it was a good opportunity to maybe change the color up a bit, but his car is also Destroyer Gray (with all the black Daytona decals) and nothing really works (at least for him) except black or maybe silver so he just redid them black again.

Piening...those Velgin rims in black look really good. Got a pic of them mounted?

Talon...nice set up. Agree the black 5 stars look really nice on your Destroyer. I had Monkey's on my Granite Crystal '16 Hellcat and it looked great but the BM can be a tough color to build into a color scheme.

From a couple years ago when it was still mine-
(and before anyone asks, they're 20x9.5(F), 20x11(R) with 275/40(F), 305/35 (R) in these pics)
