Tired of the Rallye look for awhile so I went with the old day two look. I had the Charger out last weekend since it was nice out & took some pictures with the Cragars on it. Hard to tell from the shadow but there is some meat under there. There is 295/50's on the back.

Not too many like the old Skool Cragar S/S mag look, but I can't get enough. Seems they are making a comback. Looks awesome!

I still have the Rallye's for when I want to switch them back.

Sure brings back some memories of the 70's era...It seemed like everyone I knew with a muscle car pulled the stock wheels and put a set of Crager's on. You car looks fantastic Crager's or Rallye's! :drool5: :drool5:

Personally.....I think Rallye's are damm hard to beat.

The exception is a Charger. Something about the style......Cragars just fit. :drool5:

It looks great with Rallye's.....but better with Cragars. :2thumbs:

Cragers were on a lot of cars back in the 70's when I was a kid. Looked good then and look good now, definitely timeless. Rallyes look good too. That's a nicely optioned 70 you have there, totally awesome!!! :2thumbs:

Cragars is the direction I'm going with on my '68. Below is a random pic from the internet in which I want my car to look like. Although I would flip the white lettering inside and have blackwalls. This Charger looks bad ass!!!

Sylvester Stallone was right.  In the movie the Expendables part 2 he did say, "Nothing beats a classic."  Nice wheels.

Thanks guys. I like all Chargers with any kind of wheel really. Except the newer large dia type wheels. Anything larger than 15" just don't look right. My buddy has some 17" chrome Torque Thrust D type wheels on his Challenger & they don't even look right to me.

I don't like the rallye wheels very much on 70's (but do like them on the 71-up cars), the Cragar S/S's are just perfect on yours.   200S Daisy's would've been a nice choice too.

I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

The Cragars are  just as classic of a look as the ralleys to me . It's nice to have a different set of rims to change the look of the car when you want a fresh look. To me both look great on your beautiful charger but I think the rallys have an ever so slight edge in the looks department.
Mopars are like the Hot Wheel/Matchbox cars from when I was a kid ...  Bad A@@ and Cool!!!

:iagree: Well said, Cragars would be my third choice behind Magnums and Rallyes.

Heck yeah, these would good all cleaned up. I would love a set of these for my other Charger Dayclona project. Going for that NASCAR themed look on this car.
