Those wheels are pretty trick- like 'em!


I've seen it before now.  Now that's what I'm talking about.  Nice amount of rubber on the wheels, lowered...perfect.  Love the wheels as well.  They look like the Vistas I was planning to get someday. 

Very, very beautiful ride.   :2thumbs:

I've pretty much always worked about 50 hours a week. At times it has been up to 65 hour weeks. For two decades I also rotated through a bunch of fix-up classic drivers, built and crewed 3 different stock cars, built and ran demo derby cars, road raced, did a complete remodel of 2 houses top to bottom, and restored a couple of Chargers. Not to mention working weekends for my buddy, building a pile driver, and a million other things. I didn't spend much time watching TV or roaming the internet. While I don't have near that much energy any more, the bottom line is...... You make it a priority or You don't.

Bingo.

Thank you! The wheels are Intro Twisted Vista. I was going to put a set on my Chevy truck I owned in 2001, but I couldn't justify the expense on a work truck.

This is with the regular set of wheels. The black steelies were only temporary since I was sending the car off to get the LH fender repaired.

rims are too big need to stick with 14inch stock rims that Ma Mopar put on these cars.....they were never intended for anything bigger......


Joking aside Kern Dog what rims are those?   I like em...staggered?

So that is the set of wheels I've been wanting.  There's a member here with a '70 that has the Vistas with the spokes crooked S shaped like that turned me onto them.

I've already spent on my drone what a set would have cost.   :rotz:  And it's only been off the ground a handful of times...

Finally got to take a drive sunday morning!!  :icon_smile_big: I had some concrete poured in front of my shop and had to wait a few days before I could move the charger out but by sunday it was dry and ready to be driven on. Me and my little dog drove around for about an hour before it started getting too hot. Got a good hour drive out of it before I headed back to the house. Just nice to get behind the wheel and change some gear's for a change!!!!  :yesnod:

There are plenty of Mopar purists that say what you wrote, but are dead serious about it. Everyone has an opinion and as long as they don't hurl insults and get all pissy, I'm cool with differing points of view.
The rears are 10" and the fronts are 9" wide. 4 3/4" backspacing on all 4.

I'm not a big fan of the bigger rim's myself but lately some of the one's I have seen lately are growing on me!! :yesnod: I like my 15 inch magnum's fine and they look good and were fairly reasonable and that was a big factor in my wheel choice at the time of purchase!!!  I'm kinda old school myself but I respect other's and their choices of what they do on their vehicle's. Biggest thing with me is that it's simpler and cheaper to keep thing's kinda plain and that work's for me anyway!!  :yesnod:
