who else thinks the wheels kill this car

[Troy]

220k and it sits at stock ride height with japanese looking wheels...come one, at that price it better have a set of custom $5k deep dish billet wheels slammed down

Have you priced Forgeline wheels? Those particular ones are about $1,300 each ($5,200 total).

They may be $5k wheels but I can go down to discount tire and buy the same looking wheels if I wanted for $250ea, they just look like something a teenager would put on their honda. Chargers have to have some dish on them

Two different things. I'm not saying the wheels look great on this car - just that they aren't some after thought picked up at the local chain store. They could be worse. Much worse!

not enough offset on the front wheels is the problem. I'll bet that's because the aftermarket front suspension is wider than the factory suspension. That happens a lot on touring cars like this

True.  But there's no way around it.  The flat-faced wheel offset is a necessary part of a modernized front end geometry.

Nice car but has way too much into the resto to ever break even... or close to it.

That sounds right & proper to me.  

Almost any resto/mod that did not cost enough to be a money-loser . . wasn't done right.  

The way around it is to modernize the front suspension.  There are some really fast old Mopar's running on road courses with the factory suspension.

Unfortunately, Forgeline doesn't make a wheel that seems to look right on a Mopar.  They look alright on everything else though.

They have a wheel that's loosely based on a Torq Thrust; I'm OK with it except the cost...

I don't like look or stance; and I hate the wheels.

looks ugly as SIN!!!!  Ride height is off, no 6 speed, no blower, rims too big, non stock suspension, pathetic PERIOD!!!

WHAT IT NEEDS:
12inch rims
stock suspension
3 speed column shifter
stock paint

I like the car , in the video wheels look great in motion,
Not so great stationary,
It's close to the look I love triple black 70,
Not a fan of low profile tyres,
I wish money was no object, I would buy the car and put a much better looking set on it, and post it on here to kick this thread off again
