I want to get a set of pro-touring wheel for my new 1969 Chrysler 300. I really don't want to spend a small fortune, so is there any cheap websites or stores out there?? I would also buy a used set if there in good shape. Thanks Johnny.  :METAL:

WHITE AND RED 69

ebay maybe? newstalgiawheel.com has a nice selection and some are fairly cheap. when you get to the larger wheels cheap is not the way you want to go, save up and get something you will be happy with.

american muscle website, the one that's for mustangs...they have some nice wheels, pretty cheap, free shipping and same bolt pattern for mopars. eventually i'm going to change my wheels to torq-thrust (like) wheels, black with chrome lip.

you can also check out coys wheels. do a google search for both.

thanks dude!  uscartool subframe connectors got installed today, new carpet and sound deadening soon.. then my sebring convert seats by the end of the summer. 

wheels come with a bit of a price... due to my tire choice, they rub the outer wheel house... not the lip, but the wheel well itself.  My buddy whos doing the subframe connectors is going to "relieve" that for me. snip snip here snip snip there..  a small price to pay for looking cool lol

yes!!! do you have more pics of THAT car? those are the wheels I want.

DKN1997-thanks, car does look very nice! what is your tire size, if you don't mind me asking? since it seems some rub, some don't.

thanks guys.  I still have to put at least a 1/4" spacer on the rears. they are a bit too "in" for me.  IMHO,there are 3 keys to the look I ended up with:

1. stance.  these cars have to have to have to be lowered when you put big wheels on them. otherwise just slam a front diff in there and go muddin'

2. ditch the wheel well trim

3. soft lip wheels.  you gotta counteract the bling of bigger wheels with a deep, mean look. Large wheels that have the same stepped lip as your 15" steelies don't look very deep, even at 9 and 10" wide.

Real talk... Pro Tour look should be staggered... on the 68 we ran 17's all the way around with a 8" front and a 9.5" rear... the front lip is 3" and the rear is like 5"   :2thumbs:


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

Both of your Chargers are killer! The look is there for sure. Johnny  :METAL:
