get what you want.....dont worry about what others say  :icon_smile_big:

I run 20x10 in the rear I get so much flack from older dudes saying how they ran 14inch rims with drum backs all around back in the day and they are better than all disc brakes etc....

None of the above, but I am not really into the 14"-15" old school look.

If I had to pick. . .  Vectors.

This, or Vectors look okay as long as the car isn't orange.   :lol:

I've hated Cragars forever, maybe I just see too many jacked up Novas/Chevelles/Camaros with them.

7chargers

Orange or not Vectors just make the look for the car, or orginal Magnum 500's with red line tires look awesome!

always loved the Craigar SS  they are so 70s.  In the eighties you could get a set of 4 from any junk yard for $10 a wheel.  $15 a piece if you only needed one or two.

Thank you!  Although someone else told me that too, but I didn't really get it; why is the prominence of the horizontal body line so important?  How is the quality of the bodywork defined by that horizontal body line?

im into the chrome wheels. voted for the cragars. its just what i like. but the fun part of this obsession is that everyone has their own preference which makes the car shows more fun. it would be boring to get to a show and see 15 69 dodge chargers all the same color and the same wheels and tires on them. build your charger so that you are enjoying it. i love my wheels and tires. i love my paint color. i feel great when im driving through town and people are gawking. :2thumbs:

I got Cragers on my 70....not a real fan of them, but I got them back in the 90's for basically free..which is what I could afford back then.....if I had a choice for a do-over...I would have gone with Torque-thrust style

Because it is very easy to lose, diminish, distort, or otherwise ruin those subtle factory body lines in the side panels of a second-generation Charger when filling and sanding the body in preparation for paint.

As for wheels, I like Vectors the best, but only in 14x7 and 15x7 sizes, especially 15x7.

Cooter

Any wheel in the 15-16" range from the period works. I prefer Cragars, Centerline auto drag, or slott mags (Ansen Sprint).

must be showing my age, I voted for and still like cragars   :yesnod: have a set of 15 x7,15 x 8 now


  and 71 GA4  383 magnum  SE

Out of your choices, I voted Magnums. Close in second would be dog dishes.  :yesnod:

Sorry, but I am not a fan of any of the aftermarket wheels you listed.   :cheers:

You sure about that, Cooter?
