Are RM360's wheels 22"s? Are they Giovanna Sabinas? Is the black spoke cap removable to exppose the chrome?
I was looking to buy the Sabinas From Giovanna
Does anyone know the offset?
Yes, they are 22s, but I don't if they are Sabinas. I do believe they have the black plastic caps though.
As for offset, I had mine done in 37mm for the front and 52 in the rear, but I don't know what RM360 did.

You do not need the caps you can just run them chrome. Keep in mind its a split spoke wheel under the cap so it have a different look than with the cap. As for the offset Giovanna does not make the wheel in the correct offset for the srt8. We take the wheels as blanks no holes no offset and machine them to be exact as the factory wheels. This is the only way to have them correct.

Randy-- there is no such thing as no offset. When you got your blanks, there was some offset. You know that drilling blanks doesn't affect offset, and that the necessary offset clearance is necessary to get any wheel to fit custom applications. Don't confuse the lad.

You are 100% incorrect. The wheel is called a blank because the back pad is not machined and is raw from the forging process. The wheel has to be drilled for lug application and the rear pads have to be machined to the correct offset. Yes you can buy wheels that just clear the brake calipers and fit on the vehicle but it does not mean they are correct for the application. I see so many srt8 owners putting on wheels that have incorrect offset so the wheels stick out from the wheelwell. If you want it 100% exact as it should be this is the only way to make this wheel correct.

Agreed. I misunderstood.... to me, your post was saying that unless someone drilled blanks, then they wouldn't be getting the correct fit.
Any high end wheel manufacturer will build directly to spec, which will ensure correct fit.
Another thing I forgot in your case... your wheel isn't multi-piece, making the custom fit process even more delicate. The Sabina's are a one piece cast, correct (you mentioned the forging process, but these wheel are cast)? So when you got your blank, then you machined it, you then had to send it out for chrome yourself? Or did WTW take care of all of the process for you?

Who did you get to do your giovanas' RM 360? Im loving the sabinas and dont want to take no as an answer i want to get these rims. I also believe that the Giovanna Dalar's would be nice on the srt. How much did the blanks cost and how much did it cost to get them machined to spec? thanks!!

Squigmang, did you ever get a set of Sabinas? I'm sick of no wheels fitting our vehicles.
