Which rims do you prefer on my bird?

I've been driving the car around this summer with the rallyes but I've been missing the bling a little. The rallyes look really small compared to the Centerlines. I plan to eventually buy new rims, possibly Billet Specialties or something similar but for now I'll just settle for the Centerlines.
I've been thinking about switching back to the Centerlines for a while and then switching back and forth as time goes on.

Which rims do you think look better? The beefy 17" Centerlines or the little rallyes?

I may switch them back out before St. Louis this weekend...or I might not. Haven't made up my mind.  :icon_smile_big:

I like them both.

I have a set of Magnum 500s and a set of AR Hopsters

I swap them out every now and then to mix it up.

If i'm going to a concorse type show its the 500s if I'm going to a muscle car type show then its the ARs

One set make it look more modern and the other more nastalgic.

I don't think one set is better than the other just different.

If I was selling the car I would go with the origional style.

Steve (Just my 2 cents)

They both look good. I do like the white letter look though. I think I'd definitley choose the Centerlines over the Rallyes if the Centerlines had white letter tires.

Of the two choices I like the Rallyes better. But if those were the Auto Drag Centerlines that would be a different story!

Thanks for the input. There is no right choice really if you think about it. It's like two completely different cars. Sort of like Jekyll and Hyde. I like it both ways but people tend to think that the car is a clone when it has the Centelines on it. For the most part that doesn't bother me but there are other Mopar people around here that would rather I not have a real Superbird if you know what I mean. Many of them have been Mopar people all of their lives and I just switched 15 years ago. I'm the new guy in their minds.
I'm leaning towards leaving the rallyes on for the MMW show and then switching them when I get home. Our fall car show season here in the south is just starting up and there are several more shows to attend before January.

Not sure how to spell it right but I like the rallyes look better.  Not because they're stock but just because I like the overall look over the two choices.  The car would look good with any rim on it  :2thumbs:.  

mikepmcs

Rallye's for me.  Magnum's would be a nice choice too.

I dont care for those aftermarket wheels.

If youre looking for something different classic Cragar SS's are awsome but I always say you cant go wrong with Magnum 500's on any MOPAR!
wingless now, but still around.

Hi Larry, I think it looks great in both sets of rims! I like the rally rims with raised white sidewall tires best next to the black paint. :drool5:

You're biased since you've actually ridden around in this car.  :icon_smile_big:

I really like the 17" and 18" Magnum 500 billet rims but they're around $500 each plus the tires that aren't cheap either. I have too many cars that need money thrown at them to splurge like that on just one car.

The rallyes look OK but still a bit off since you're missing the full graphics package.

I like the look and stance of the bigger wheels, but I don't like the particular style you have. Rallye wheels are always in style, tho.
