I am wondering anybody has used these new American Racing VN5003 wheels, they are the magnum 500 style wheel except they are aluminum and you can get them in various sizes. Does anybody have pics of the wheels installed? Here's a good picture of one,

 :scratchchin: yea i seen at least four or five chargers on the site here one quite recently,.. but i'm dammed if i can remember who all has 'em.. I'd suggest looking thru the post pics of your charger thread at the top of Gen. Disc. might take a week but it should be worth it...
I gonna bet one of the younger guys with excess storage capacity still in the their noggin might chime in, in time though,..  :shruggy:

I'd be the guy for that considering I have them in my signature :lol: How could you forget that Dave! :icon_smile_big: Kevin, send "keepat" a PM. Pat had them on his '68 Charger that he just sold.

Pat's old Charger is the silver one and the black one is Troy's Charger that he just finished :cheers: Not sure if they have the VN5003s or the AR500s though.

Is there a better picture of Troy's black '68 somewhere on the site? The above pic didn't get resized correctly and I'd kind of like to see how it looks without the sawtooth effect.

I have been digging through all of the pics on the gen discussion and there is alot of them but I haven't found any American racing VN5003 type ones yet, the aluminum ones that I have found are the ones from wheel vintiques but they are 17 or 18" but I guess I am a little old school yet and prefer 15" for my ride (69 R/T SE Charger). Looking at 15X8 with 4" backspace and 255/60/15 for front and 15X10 with 5.5" backspace with 295/50/15 for the rear. The custom ordered wheels with lugnuts, valve stems and shipped to my door is a little over $1100. Just wanted a good pic before I plunk down the cash.

Cody, Pat and Troy both have the Wheel Vintiques versions of the wheel... I ordered the AR Version in 17" (17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear) the wheels will be here by Monday and I'll be taking them to the body shop for a test fitting on Tues or Weds next week.  If you can hold out a few days, I'll post some pics..



This Charger right here is a one of none, that means none before it, none to come.
