Default Dodge Challenger on Truck Rims?

As you know the design of truck rims is quite different from what is commonly used on sport cars. Such rims are usually wide, feature a large step lip and small or zero off-set for wider stance.
But what if you put them on a sport car like Challenger?

Examples of modern off-road wheels:
RBP Custom Wheels
FUEL Custom Wheels

What's your opinion?

- Why not
or
- Never

I'd say no because they are odd looking and likely alot heavier than a car rim and that just makes it slower.

Totally agree, even if they look ok, the weight is still a problem.

Yep, those cars handle "heavily" enough even when equipped with the factory forged SRT wheels. 4400-ish lbs on Mercedes E-class suspension that is already fairly wear-prone, I wouldn't want to throw heavy cast wheels on them. The SRT suspension holds up a little better but the other models eat through parts like a fat kid through birthday cake.
