I agree on the size of the wheels in relation to the vehicle. They are 20" rims with 295x45x20 toyo tires (which do very well in the snow...surprise, surprise, they are M + S rated). The Durango is pretty big, so you can imagine how bad the stock 17" rims looked. The only problem with putting 24" rims on is the additional weight of the wheels. The unsprung weight would decrease braking capacity and hinder my ability to stop, especially while pulling my boat (even though the Durango has class leading brake size).

I have no idea on the brand of wheels as the dealer put them on before I bought the vehicle. As for the price. The Durango's MSRP was $40,380 and they wanted an additional $5,000 for the wheels and tires. I paid 40K for the whole deal. I leased the new Durango (because I don't want to keep a tow vehicle long-term). The coolest part is the new Durango's payment is about $100 per month less than my last Durango (and one year shorter in length), and the old Durango had 6 months left on the lease. Dodge will take a lease back (with 6 months or less) if you re-lease for no additional money...sweet.

I will try to take some interior pictures later today.

I don't know, I still can't get into the durango...to me at certain angles it looks like a caravan...but congrats on the new car, it's one of the best feelings in the world
