Need help With Rim/Tire Choice.. 15's or 17's... you decide

[69charger2002]

         ok guys help me out here. i've had these halibrand knockoff 15's on my yellow 69 for a while. i found some chrome 17x8's no one else i know has on their charger.. was very excited about them. i got them on this morning... and i like it but i'm up in the air now.. i am not necessarily an old school type guy, i don't mind the 17's.. i am just torn over which to keep on there..there is no doubt the 15's look more aggressive with a better stance.. while the 17's look way more modern.. give me your opinions.. here are a couple pics of each...

oh yeah specs...
15's are 235/60/15 front with 15x7 and 275/60/15 rear with 15x10(had to put hijackers on the back and she still catches once in a while)
17's are 225/50/17 front with 17x8 and 275/50/17 rear with 17x8's

I like the 15's. The car looks better to me. The scaling and the stance all work. The 17's look out of place on a muscle car. They fit under the wheelwells but look skimpy. A better way to put it is that the amount of sidewall height is too small. Just my

i absolutly hate the 17"s, Muscle needs a fat bit of side wall and a deep dish wheel... but that's just my old farts opinion..
you asked..
freakin ricers are ruining it for everyone.. 

[Dans 68]

... but that's just my old farts opinion..

Hah! Good response. Mine is a middle-aged farts opinion, then.

15" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blown70]

Hmmm well DUCK  , I like the 17" myself much BETTER     

[SnoPro440]

The 17"s look way better.

[skip68]

I think that 15's are the best look for a muscle car like Brock said "DEEP & FAT".   BUT, I also think that 17" combo looks real nice.  I'd run the 17's.   There is only a few larger combo's that I think look good on Big Boy (men's) cars.

Travis, I can't say anything good about the 17's you have chosen. Hey, I'm being honest here. They look to retro for the style of the car. Here is a web site for wheels I had for a short while on one of last few chargers recently.
www.introwheels.com
I had 15x8 & 15x10 w/BFG's. I had the Smoothie series wheel.
My next B body project has Cragar S/S wheels coming now.

Body colored wheels w/red lines would look sweet IMO.

The 17's look like wagon wheels to me...

Peace,

15's.  I don't like those 17's.

[Hemidog]

15's for sure, those 17's look out of place....

[Joshua]

Honestly???
The 17's look like something that'd be on a Nissan Sentra or a Minivan.....they don't fit the car AT ALL....totally gay. Not that I hate big wheels, I like 'em...IF the style of wheel fits the car....these don't do anything for yer car, besides make it look CHEAP.

The 15's look killer....have that retro look, a wheel that would have been used back when the car was new. What are they?  Look like a ET, Halibrand, Real Rodder's knockoff.....I like, I like!

[Musicman]

Stupid question     15's of course 

[Ghoste]

It looks a little too pimped for my tastes with the 17's on there.

[Rack]

17's by far.

[Blown70]

I will add that I do like the 17" much better BUT, agree that they are not the best look for a 17"

[PocketThunder]

I think the problem is the style of those 17's.  not all 17's look bad on a muscle car.

[Rack]

After looking at it again, I agree. 17's overall look better then the 15's but those 17's are ... ugly, IMO.

[FLG]

Dont have a problem with 17's  but those look very out of place on that car. Personally i prefer 15's and white letter tires and 15's look WAY better on your charger.

wow awesome looking charger Trav     .................... yep definatly got to be  15s  ...........

[mikepmcs]

15's if I have to choose between the two, but to tell you the truth I don't like either on that particular car set up(paint,stripe etc....).
Nice car that it is, mind you.

How about some convo's

  yeah like the 15s ..but on the front not enough dish to them  .............. 

[WingCharger]

I like yours the way it is. My charger is hopefully going to have around that size. But with Recalls.
I wish I could figure out the size this guy is running!
