Definitely steel wheel with the dog dish caps and WIDE tires.  To me, steel wheels with dog dishes just say MOPAR.  The magnums look just like another GM and Ford wheel.

I like the steel wheels on my car as well but also really like the way 295's fill out the rear wheel wells...decisions, decisions!

I love the stance of your car.  It is the reason that I went from P275/60 R15s on 8s to P295/50R15s on 8s!!

yep magnum are cool, i love both style in reality , but i am a big fan of steelids wheel, but i ll keep my magnum wheel ready to install

I would definitely get 15x7 steelies at a minimum with 15x8's as an option.. I had 15x7 steelies on Dana. That was a good day... Jacob had a blast... Man, he's grown since '04...

I like both, but went with steelies because I had them, and for my car's color (F3) you usually see Magnums on them. I chose Diamondback Radial Redlines for the stock look, but a radial tire ride and I could get a fatter 60's series tire. I like the way it turned out.

I agree that you need a minimum of a 15x7 to fill that big ole wheelwell or it looks like it's on rollerskates.

I agree - I definitely prefer the look of a nice aftermarket wheel.  But if I HAD to choose between magnums and steelies with dog dish caps, i would pick the steelies.

Can't vote until there's a "both" selection. :shruggy: Sorry.

Actually, if I had to choose between 14" steelies and 15" Magnums (as the poll is set up) I would choose Magnums because 14s look stupid. If both options are 15" though, it's a wash.

Hey Chris,

Do you have more of a side view with those wheels?
They look like Radir's?
What size tires did you use for the front?

Hey is that orange barge the one that is causing all the wake in the harbor.......... :hah: :smilielol: :smilielol:

If I had a car with the steel wheels, I'd throw them away, just like most people did when these cars were new.

Not a fan of stock tires, but I love steel wheels.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.
