So, I ended up going with Magnum 500s from Summit, 15 x 7 front with 235/70/15s and 15 x 8 rear, with 275/60/15s (from DiamondBack).

Turned out really good although I can't see that car looking bad with any choice.

Good call!  I have chrome Magnum's, 15x8 in back with 275/60-15, 15x7 in front with 255/60-15

Dave, car looks GRRRRRRREEEAAATTT man.  What back-spacing are your rims?   I would like to have the same look.  Looks like the tire fills the wheel well perfectly.... Thanks.   :cheers:

Ive said it before and will continue to believe those wheels and especially with redline are the best looking wheel on any muscle era mopar!

I talked to them about a week ago to order a set for my Charger, which I did.   The tooling is out for repair, they expect it back sometime maybe late summer.    So not discontinued, but not doing a run of these until then.

Thanks!  4.5" on the rears, 4.25" on the fronts.  When I bought them Summit had the best price, Wheel Vintiques makes them.  I got the center caps from Megaparts.

I guess I'll be the one contrary person. Your car stood out before, now it looks like every other Daytona with the wrong wheels on it. I think with the color your car is so different than the sea of red and blue car's that the factory wheel set up was perfection.

Thanks everybody. I appreciate all of your opinions, whether you liked the choice or not. I love the look of my new wheels, but can understand how it would be a step backwards for a "purist". Fortunately, swapping the old ones back on takes all of twenty minutes, which I will do if I ever take it to the kind of car show where anybody would know the difference (which doesn't exist anywhere around South Dakota, unfortunately). However, for cruising around on the street, which I plan to do some this year, the ride and look are a major improvement, "correct" or not.

I may be a little late to the game, but a set of these certainly would make you feel presidential......

I fully understand your position and appreciate you didn't Bi%6h slap me!!! Your car is awesome and unique right out the box but having extra shoes never hurts.
