Magnum 500's.  15x8 w/275/60's rear and 15x7 w/235/60's up front.  They retain the original styling but look much better in the wheel wells that the old 14 inchers.
13.53 @ 105.32

I like the Keystone Klassics.   :icon_smile_big:

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.

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


   





               :iagree:  nice color combination :thumbs:
         forgot about   :-[ vectors , centre lines , keystones & cragar 's , all look good  on a  charger .

opinions on wheels are like assholes: everyone has one and most of them stink


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:

that was written more to illustrate the point that you will never get anything close to a consensus when you ask this question.  goes for other topics also

1. anything having to do with the dukes of hazzard or the general lee, or catherine bach.
2. what is a street car?
3. should you leave feedback on ebay when the buyer pays you, or blackmail him until he leaves you good feedback.
4. jesse from the old site.

however, with that said, posting a loaded question like that is a good way to get pics posted of different wheels, so it works out in the end anyway.

  I think my car looks better with rims on it.  Helps hold the tires in place too.


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

Nice  :thumbs:

    I watched that Blade series last night on Spike, car was in there about one minute, if that.   But the car looked great, and the rims looked new.

       Does anyone know how I could find the size of the tires and rims on that car?

I believe that was Clair's car from Moparts.  I think he's got 17x9's all around, of the polished 200s American Racing rims.

I just ordered new 15" magnums to replace the factory 14" on my charger.

Actually Ron, I could probably edit that by taking out the "on Chargers".  I just don't like the look of Centerlines.  :shruggy:

I happen to really like the look of these Centerline Convo Pro's on my '68.
No one can really say there is any one "best" wheel that looks good on a Charger. Personally I am not a big fan of Cragar or "Cragar-esque" looking 5-spoke wheels. I just don't like them, although it looks like the majority of members here do. That's OK, everyone is entitled to their opinion of their favorite. I just wanted something "different" for my '68.

Speaking of different, I've decided to go with these from Foose on my '69 Charger project. They are very different from the Billet Vintiques Rallye wheel that's currently out there. These are not yet available, & won't be until next year sometime.
I'm sure I'll hear a lot of moans & groans, but I happen to like them & the look it will give the car.

Hey Ron! I was looking at a few Budniks as well before stumbling upon the Foose wheels. I like the '70 with those Centerlines as well. We had a Challenger with those same wheels on it years ago, same FE5 red too. Looked great with them.
And Thanks for your kind words on my '68!  ;D
