Hey, I like 'em!
I also have a set of 15"x7" Magnum 500s and a very nice set of '68 Dog-dishes, to "accessorize" the beast.

I have to say I dont care for those much...  however I do think it is cool that some people still use hubcaps instead of rims.  Its good to see something different once in a while.   :yesnod:   I do like the dog dish caps quite a bit.  The ones they used on Bullitt were cool too.

sorry about this, but unless you got a really good deal on those or just really like that tottally original look, i would make wall clocks out of them and put the magnum 500's on. i just think chargers deserve a cooler looking wheel.

Red Ram

Those look great with the red-lines. Need to see them with the whole car! It's good to be different, even if being different means making the car look like it did when it was new.

i don't like them at all, but you don't see them much at all on chargers anymore.. i really like the bullitt hubcaps as well. only ones i have on a charger of mine. and i'm gonna leave them. the kind of magnum looking ones. but kudos for being different

I like them. Sends the signal you have a Hemi under the hood.

I dont like em, I do like the bullitt and dog dish styles too though

:iagree:  i think i am pretty sure in saying that those were the only hubcaps available for 15" wheel hemi cars , could be wrong :scratchchin:

is that the hubcaps they had in bullit because it seemed whenver they took a corner at high speeds one would fall off lol

mikepmcs

They are cool but I would go with the M 500's if i had a choice and your collection in hand.

You are correct.....at least for 69 ;)

I love them. The rim explosion seemd to come in in 1970 with the advent of the Rallye rim. Prior to that there were more wheel covers than road wheels or Magnum 500s. and yes to cover the 15 wheels does speak of hemi.

ouch.............they might look better on an '05-'06 "Charger"

I used to hate 'em, but I'm slowly liking them more these days. I still don't know if I'd put them on mine just yet, byt they're ok. :)

At least they're in good shape, did you get 'em cheap?

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I really need the whole picture. can you pull back a bit and get the whole car in the pic. as well? my first impression is :thumbs:

Magnumcharger

Not my car in the pic...But I'll post some pics of a car just like mine with the same hubcaps.
I never thought I'd see the day where I'd like a set of hubcaps, but, yeah, it does send the "Hemi on board" signal, which I think is awesome.
That, and the fact that I like 15" wheels on a B body way better than 14", which look too small, even though it's only a matter of 1" difference.

I paid $60 bucks for a full set on eBay. Cheaper than dog-dishes.

And how often do you see any Charger with these caps, vs. Magnum 500s?

Distinctive is good, um-kay?

When I was surveying in Cape Breton in 1994 there was a 70 plus year old granny who tooled around Sydney in a 1969 ragtop 442.
In 1969 my mother owned a 350 horse 396 Chevelle.
There was a Clara (forgot last name) who owned the mauve 1966 Hemi Charger.
Also another granny owned a 1968 Coronet R/T ragtop 440 car.

So be careful of granny comments. The little old ladies may just hand you your rear on a platter. ;D

Although they aren't necessarily the prettiest things I've seen, I do like the fact that you're doing something different.  Seems that everyone has Magnum 500's, Rallyes, or dog dishes.  Some of these cars did come with wheelcovers like yours, and it's nice to see some examples of them.
