first I was thinking of some new wheels for my 69 charger and I'm having a hard time finding something I don't see alot of when I go to car shows and trying to decide what would look good on the car! I was trying to find a web site that would allow me to place different wheels on the car but haven't had any luck so i thought I would ask here for any of your suggestions and help! thanks here is a pic of my car hope it loads up!
No help here. I'm in the same boat.
Just curiouse, is that pic along the river in Marietta, Ohio?
I know I've posted this before.
Try www.newstalgiawheel.com
They carry a fairly wide selection of aftermarket wheels. They specialize in muscle cars & street rods. They have a Wheel Visualizer link that will allow you to choose your car, change color, ride height, tire size, & wheel selection. It's a little "cartooney", but it does the job fairly well. :2thumbs:
BTW, I purchased my wheel/tire set from them. They came mounted & balanced to my door, & pricing blew away what it would have cost if I ordered them separate from other vendors, tires from Tire Rack, etc.
:Twocents:
Thanks for the web site I will check it out!
And yes that pic is next to the ohio river in Marietta! How did you know that????

I know all the SE Ohio hot spots, Lowell, Bear "crik", etc. ;)
Actually, my wife's family is from down there. I was just down along the river, where the picture was taken, on Easter. The combo of the brick street, water, and your profile, prompted the question.
Btw, nice car. I can't imagine you would miss with any rim on that.
I havent seen many Chargers with these Convo Pros fitted.
This is a borrowed set and I liked them so much that I'm on the lookout for a set for myself

Rear wheels are 15" x 10" with a 5" BS, tire is 295/50R15.
Front wheels are 15" x 7" with a 3-3/8" BS, tire is 235/60R15.
Stock HD rear leaves with stock front suspension, too.
No rub or clearance issues at all. :2thumbs:

Cheers mate
I'll help you get rid of wheels you currently have :lol:
If you're talking to me, I'll be using the vectors on the yellow Valiant sorry.
Then I'll be able to swap them around when I want/need to.
Well, my comment was directed to 1st_charger :nana: but if you ever feel the need to get rid of yours I'll gladly take em ;D

<<<jealous. Id like to pick a set of those up for one of the challengers.
What sort of a look are you going for? Like a period-correct Cragar SS look, or a resto-mod "today" sort of look? I've thought about wheels for almost a decade, and sadly the only thing I can come up with that "I" think looks good on a Charger is the Torq-Thrust II in various colors, or maybe even American Racing's F200S wheel, or possibly the American Racing "Outlaw" wheel. I realize that everyone and their uncle runs Torq-Thrust but what can I say. What sort of size are you going to get? I'm probably going to go with 17's...

how much would you want to sell your vector wheels for? :icon_smile_big:
I like these ones, sort of styled after the recall type ones, not too bright either, they let the car do the talking..
