Ds440 generously photoshopped some wheels on my car and I am wondering what you guys think. My Charger is in the shop and I'm bored so I am making this post. I like how the steelies look on the car.
How it is Right Now, Torque Thrusts

i like the Torque Thrusts better  :Twocents:

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Torque Thrusts for me too.  Although I have to admit, the steelies on that black car give it a certain shine runner all business look.

I'm not a big fan of torque thrust. I think on this, steelies with hubcaps!


keep the TT for Camaros

Steelies for me, ghoste said it best.
It looks fine with the TT's as well.
Can't go wrong either way IMO.
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

My opinion, they called dog dishes poverty caps for a reason. They just don't belong on a car like a Charger. But, hey, it's your car, do what pleases you.

Option 1 dude. Not even a comparison.  :Twocents:

But get some white letter tires.  :yesnod:

bordin34

They are RWL tires but the RWL is facing inwards because only the rears were worn when I bought new tires and the fronts were already facing inward and the RWL on the front don't look good anymore.

Maybe it's just the photo, but the TT's don't look quite right... I think white lettering would help.

The steelies look good, they give it that Sleeper / Cop Car look.

As it stands in the photos, I would take the steelies myself, but I think it would look better with something else  :Twocents:

Now I gotta come up with a couple grand for the recalls. I am liking the steelies more right now but can't really afford to change so it doesn't matter yet.

If you want a street killer look, strip off all that chrome, get some summitt cheapie nascar type wheels and yellow letter goodyears.  stuff as much tire as those wheelwells will take...

If you're serious about the steelies, how about the cop car slotted steelies with the ralley wheel centers? Looks pretty good IMHO.

Im a person that doesnt like those smooth cop wheels and im definatelly a torque thrust Person more than any other wheel.

However.... on that car, the torque thrusts dont work and the cop wheels I would buy cause they actually look really good on it, fits and its not as common.

Go the cop wheels. I LIKE it.

Finn

The TTs aren't bad...but Id be able to recognize/remember it in a crowd with the cop wheels.
Plus they look all business which I really like :Twocents:

Steelies with dog dishes make is look like your grandmas car.  Go with the TT's.  I've always been a huge fan of every style of TT.
