    Default Wheel questions

    2012 RT Limited

    Are the wheels aluminum, steel, or composite?

    Will the wheels for a RS fit a RT?

    Can you use car tire weights when balancing your wheels

    Thanks in advance for any help you may render

    On my 2012 RSS they are Black powder coated aluminum
    The wheels from an RS should fit the RT
    Ride and enjoy Merry Christmas.

    Wheels for an RT have a different offset than wheels for an RS. While they will bolt on with no problems you may have tire Clearence issues with the fenders.

    Wheels are aluminum alloy.

    Stick-on weights are appropriate, just like for aluminum automobile wheels.

    Wheels for the RS will fit, but they are less offset, so will affect the fender placement and will also affect handling to some degree.
