Which wheels?

Street Lite
S71
Telstar

471_Magnum

Without giving too much away, I'm in the market for some new wheels. Want something billet or forged. Here are my choices so far:

Billet Specialties Street Lite


Weld Racing S71


Centerline Telstars


Before you post other suggestions, note that my price limit is about $900 to my door. I'm not even considering Magnums, Torq Thrust or Cragars like you see on every other car.

Vote early. Vote often.

Yeah. Been watching CL. Telstars have been out there a while, so used ones can be found. They are my first choice. Center Line has also introduced a cast version called the Modstar. Nobody has them in stock yet though.

That's funny! :icon_smile_wink:

Actually, I'm bald, I have a 50 lb beer gut, and the air shocks wore out a long time ago. The bumper and my ass drag on the ground :lol:

Centerline Telstars   :yesnod:  others look too modern  :Twocents:

I tend to agree... unless you've got some nice brakes to show off behind them... which I don't.

What? No perm on that mullet!?! I guess you make up for it with the part in the middle! LOL

There are a few photos of me that could be dug up with the 80's mullet and PIM.  :coolgleamA:

Okay.... enough mullet talk. Let's get back to our originally scheduled program.

Need more votes.

Charger-Bodie

I like the street lites better than the others. They dont look as generic.
68 Charger R/t white with black v/t and red tailstripe. 440 4 speed ,black interior
68 383 auto with a/c and power windows. Now 440 4 speed jj1 gold black interior .
My Charger is a hybrid car, it burns gas and rubber............

moparstuart

are the spokes hollow on the street lites , or does the spoke just have a recessed channel  ?  I cant tell for sure

  they do look the best  ,  but classic cragars all the way   :nana:

No offense meant here Jim, but why not go with something completely different. I'm sure what you're putting the wheels on but if you want an aggressive look maybe try something non-musclecar-ish. Just my  :Twocents:
