Wheel Recommendations?

[james j]

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to get some help with ideas for wheel choices for a '68 Charger. Specifically, I am looking to size an 18" diameter, minimum 10" wide wheel for the rear. I would like to at least fit a 295 series tire back there. While I know that I can go with a custom forged wheel to fit large rubber, but that really a little out of the budget right now. From what I can find, American Racing makes the Torq Thrust II VN405s in that size, and are around $400/each, but I didn't find many other options. I am keen to a relatively retro or modern classic look, in chrome. If anyone knows of any other similar options out there, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

JJ

Looks good enough for me.  Personally, I don't think that many wheels look good on our cars outside of the Torq-thrust family, all of their versions and various knock-offs (including mine)...

There are MANY wheel choices that look great on these cars other than the garden variety 5-spokes. All subjective to one's tastes. Variety is the spice of life.

James, check out Newstalgia Wheel: http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/shop/categories/performance-tires/nitto

They carry many wheel choices, offer wheel and tire packages, and also have a cool wheel visualizer where you can pick out the car, change colors, etc and place different wheels on it to get an idea what they will look like. It allows you to change wheel diameters, tire sizes, stagger them, etc.
Some of their packages are very affordable. I ordered my Foose's from them, and although expensive they still blew away local area pricing, tires from Tire Rack, etc.

these are the wheels that I have for my car. They cost me 400 each then 100 to ship the set.

Interesting.  Post some pictures of your car, please...

I agree with MYK's comments, very interesting indeed. What sizes are you running, and where did you get them from? Thank you everyone else, they responses have been great. Thanks!

I found them on ebay called the store directly and they placed the order through mht.
rons rims is the store name
foose knuckle is the wheel

im thinking of going with US custom wheels although very expensive because they are forged, I think they run 600 a wheel!

they may match well with my white car!
