Anybody have pictures of a charger with some Chip Foose nitrous rims?

I saw a RR at a show with Foose Nitrous rims, Not a charger, but may give you an idea of what it will look like on an older Mopar.

They're very popular with the magnum/300/(06)Charger crowd...but for some reason I'm not a big fan. I think it's the fake rivets that I've never liked on any wheel.

And yeah, they're pricey compared to TT's.

I'm not a huge fan myself...     Chris Jacob's GTX had some on it when we last worked on it..    but I thought they didnt fit the car all that well appearance wise

The look is too modern for a classic car, IMHO.

They make 'em without the rivets/bolts along the rim.....they look WAY better.....I *think* they're the Nitrous 2.....

Anything over 18" looks ridiculous anyway on these old cars, esp chrome, some billets don't look TOO bad, IMO :Twocents:........

I guess I'm just stuck in the 60's....... :icon_smile_big:

I'm thinking about a set as well.  No monies right now tho.  :eek2:
Here's some that ds made up.  For some reason they don't look as good on mine as the other three.  :shruggy:

I was thinking of the Foose nitro wheels for my charger, but i went for the Boyd JYD wheels.
Maybe the Nitro´s wheels are to "BLING". but it all comes down to taste i guess ;)

If you're looking for an updated take on the Torq Thrust, you should check out.....the Torq Thrust M! I have them on my '06 (they're 22" tho) and I believe you can get them in 17" and 18" as well. It's a clean, classy design, IMHO. I get lots of compliments on them, and I bet they'd look tight on a classic mopar (in the right size, of course). I'd probably get them for my '74 if I decide not to go with the NASCAR type wheels.

Personally I can't take musclecars without any tire sidewall.  I need to see at least 45-50-series sidewalls even if the rims are gonna be bigger than stock.

I've got the Nitrous II wheels on my 68 (15x7s all around).  It wasn't my first choice (I'm not crazy about the rivets either), but I found a good deal on ebay and went ahead and got them since they ended up actually being cheaper than the TT2's.  There are a few other designs out there I like better, but I couldn't find them smaller than 17", which is bigger than I want to go.
