Well after many, many years of rolling on Weld Draglites, I finally went with more of the "factory" look. I bought a set of the chrome Magnum 500s from Specialty Wheel in Oregon (through the DodgeCharger.com discount  :2thumbs:), and added a set of the Magnum 500 decals to the center caps. So far, I'm pretty happy. Here's a few picts from this weekend...

here's one of the center cap with the black and red Magnum 500 decal. I like it alot better than the plain "bull's eye" decal they came with...

Very nice. I almost bought a car with those colors out if N.Y a few years ago. 
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I'm not well-versed on those Roadrunners but isn't the front bumper usually chrome?

Thanks for all the kind words. I would have really liked to have went with redlines, but I couldn't bring myself to pay double the price of the regular BFG T/As. I think I can live it how it is...

I'm pretty sure on his car they should be chrome, but I'd have to ask him to be sure. They are not the elastomeric bumpers, and I'm not sure if you could get colored bumpers without that option.
