What are your favourite wheels for a 1968 - 1970 Charger? When I come to get mine I will consider either American Racing Torq Thrust D's or Outlaw I (Series 61), what are the ones called in Bullitt? Who sells them?

I like a lot of the aftemarket wheels.  Even some of the done up or widened originals.

i think    steal wheels/ dog dishes ,  magnum 500s  , torque thrust d ,S are awesome , and i think  nascar black bassett  wheels are real bad ass looking   also a  couple of the new type design  :-\ look good but i forget their names  ??? but i think the wheel that gives a mopar especially a charger , the meanest look of all is   slot mags  ,( no offence meant to  any  to anyones  choice of wheels as all mopars look good  no matter what wheel choice , i like them all really ) .

Thanks, Magnum 500's look good too

69 OUR/TEA

I am undecided so I am going to run three sets,14" deluxe hubcaps(like on the bullit charger), chrome magnum 500's 15x8 w/ 275 60's on rear,15x7 225 70's front, and polished torque thrusts same rim and tire sizes as magnums.

tan top

yeah i agree JMF i have got a set on mine , plus a old  set of slot mags when i feel like a change  also .  probably will get a set of  widened steel wheels & original torque thrust 2 s  later on . and find a good set of my original  hub caps ( 14" deluxe deep dish)  trouble is i like them all really  and you can only run one set at a time :-\

I prefer Torqe Thrust II's to the Magnum 500's   :icon_smile_big:  :yesnod:

I used to have the Klassics on mine, but I love the look of the Vectors.  Yes it was a Dukes thing, but the black Vectors with the yellow I have just set the car off, and I love them, so those are my choice.

Torque thrust D's or slot mags, otherwise, the magnum 500

Your car looks great with the black details you have, hood, wing, grill guard, etc.    :thumbs:


   Centerlines look tough, like the Blade car.  Also like these five spoke kinds, don't know the names.

I do not agree...  I am glad there are so many different wheels and opinions. Can you imagine if we all drove the exact same car? Same color. Same wheels. Same engines.....  BORING!!!!!   :puke:

Same here.  There are a LOT of wheels that I don't like but I am glad of it.  The variety is one of the best things about this car hobby.  It's one of the easiest ways to change the entire "personality" of a car.
