damn, really dunno!.I allways have though on keystones, but Rallyes have been growing on me a lot and will keep the Mopar look.

both in 15x7

Keystones are $664 with 3.75 BS from summit... without nuts and washers and no need them I already have them. ( I guess with center caps )

Rallyes.. I got a quote on $780, 4.25 BS, including center cap, trim ( polished, not brushed ) and nuts

Dunno the shipping charges from summit on 4 wheels ( if you have experience on this please post about ), but rallye vendor quoted me $175  :o... UPS is getting him that quote for 5 boxes ( 4 of rims and the 5th for the trim, caps and nuts )


My doubts about Rallyes...
is 4.25 BS any good ? I liked more the 3.75 BS idea to get it a little bit flushed with body. The rallyes can be delivered with BS change as my wish , but dunno if will have some trim fitment and look trouble. Seller told me they came out on 4.25 BS from stock option on 15x7 wheels and will have some trim problem if I change that.

what it was the other rallye wheel options ? 15x6 ? 14x6 ? what it was the BS on these ? do they use diff trim ? Obviouslly the 14x6 it does, but 15x6 ?

I like the Keystones Nacho.  If they were good enough for Ronnie Sox, they're good enough for me.

68 383 auto with a/c and power windows. Now 440 4 speed jj1 gold black interior .

I'm partial to the rallyes like in the first pic. The keystones look good too but I like the rallyes better.

My vote goes for Keystone. Growing up with Volvos and Saabs with wheels like the rallyes
doesn't make them an upgrade on a nice musclecar for me, sorry but that' what they remind me of.

per
Charger -68 R/T 500 cui Stroker

Nacho-RT74

DING DING DING!!!

I think I got a decision...

RALLYE with polished trim and lates caps


which were the influences.

50% votes plus

I though on keep moparish look

With bad condition of local streets, better steel than combined pieces. Easy to fix , refinish, etc...

Unilugs make me scare with local condition streets

Keystone, believe or not are some popular, Rallyes are harder to find, specially in nice condition and they are not on 15" down here, just some Darts Specials, and just in 14"

I know if I get tired of them, or change of mind, or want to upgrade to 17"s, lot of Mopar crowd here will love to get them from me. ( true Keysones unilugs have more market to Chebbies too, but they usually choose thorqtrust )

will match the Plastic MPC scale model I will make matching my car LOL. I got extra rallye wheels with it, to make it stock look, they are earliers caps thought... nothing is perfect at all.

My vote is definitley for the Rallyes. The Keystones look good but Rallyes all the way! I had a few wheel ideas for my Duster and I picked the Rallyes and I'm glad I did :2thumbs:

yeah! I went for Rallyes, but polished trim to gain some look with reflection, and lates center caps... it is everything together now at Florida waiting to be sea shipped.

they look also more solid to the car view!

still waiting to get some extra stuff ( non car related ) to make just one international shippment

When I first wanted Rallyes, I wanted the 'mexican hat' styled center caps but the wheels I bought used (I repainted them) came with polished trim rings and the '72 later 'acorn' style center caps and I like them better than the earlier ones actually now.

Nacho, are you racially profiling the Mexican Hat?  That's not fair to the hat.  It has equal rights as every other center cap too  :smilielol:  Whoops, sorry.... haha  Actually, I'm with you on this one.   For your particular car, I prefer the later center capped rallye wheel.  It's just me, but obvious stuff like that bugs me.  My buddy has a beautifully restored B5 blue '68 GTX that ran Magnums forever.  One day he pulled into a cruise-in with a pair of 15in rallies with the darker colored '71 center caps and to me, it just DID NOT look right.  The whole time, that was all I kept starring at were those wheels.  My vote would be for the OE wheel on this one.... even though I do like the look of a Keystone
