That's so ugly that a Hot Wheels car wouldn't have those wheels on it...

I like what you have now.
actually I like yours , when I got my rolling shell, the first thing that caught my eye was the American five lot alloys on her 10's on the back and 8's on the front , but 14 inch and a good range of tyres for that size rim , also were multi fit lug nuts , a no no over here, but would have liked to use them, also fat Firestone polyglass tyres on them , pity they were dry rotted, but a good indication of how long the car was of the road and hidden away stored

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

You sure about that, Cooter?



Yes.

Dino and Myk's rims FTW! 
:iagree:

I like the 14-15" rims on Chargers but, if I were to do a 2nd gen myself, I'd like something similar to theirs.

Now since I had to choose from that list I voted for magnums!

Dino

The MB old school wheel, which is what Myk and I run, is also available in 15" in both polished/grey as we have, or all chrome. 

I love my wheels and am glad I got them!

I like the look of vectors although the sheer amount of GL's out there took away its uniqueness.  Still a nice looking wheel.  Always loved Cragar SS but not all chrome, I don't like any wheel in all chrome.  The newer magnums are very nice but again, lots out there with that combo.

Magnums for me!! For a stock look,  :coolgleamA:

RGA

Sorry on the no pics , I have given up trying to post them, can't figure out how to resize and rename on an I pad.

Results were shocking ! Magnums killed it with Cragars in second (way behind). Only 1 vote for the keystones which I love on these cars. Crazy. Honestly I would go with the keystones but I HATE mag lug nuts, same on the Cragars. I'm gona go with the steels and dog dishes with red lines are on the way.

If the Vectors or the Western Turbines that I used to have were available in 17 or 18 inch sizes I may have considered them as well.  As I see it the only wheels that have struck as being "right" for our cars are American Racing's TTD, 200S, and the MB's that we roll on.

Of course you would, they are all very similar in appearance and what you have on your car.
Wheels are somewhat akin to tattoos, they are a very personal choice and what some like others may not.

The OP's favorite is Keystones, but they happen to be at the bottom of the voting pile. Others apparently don't like them.
Some say nothing larger than a 15", others go as high as 22". Some don't like all-chrome.
Many members here are not a fan of donks (myself included), but given the huge donk movement out there some people are obviously drawn to them for some strange reason.  :eek2:

Bottom line is pick whatever makes you happy.

  and on another note, the coys do look good, beautiful 65 also. :2thumbs:

Which Coys are those?  The C55 is the same wheel as our MB wheels.

yes, the wagon is cool, the stance is just right, the rims are OK, but it needs bigger tires on the front..it looks "off" to me

I love wagons. OK..... I love pretty much ALL mopars.  But the Wagons are fun as Hell!!

RGA

that things sweet. I found a 70 Plymouth wagon with a RR hood, running in decent shape. Trying to convince him its supposed to be mine.

Moparheaven

Thanks.. I love trying to fit the right wheel on the right car. Im a big fan of anything 5 spoke. I think 6 spokes are too busy and 4 is not enough. Here are the Black chrome Coys on my Charger. anyway. I think I gave more than 2cents worth.

I agree though. I would love to have a nice clean old Mopar wagon of some sort also.

Hater, that looks like something a Klingon would carry into battle! Yuck on any Mopar!

My self here is my order if the Charger is pretty much stock.

1 Magnum Wheels but wider than stock.

2 Road Wheels. Not as nice as Magnum's but look good. My 69 Charger came with them.  :coolgleamA:

3 Cragar SS 5 spoke.  :2thumbs:

When my 69 Charger R/T (R/T Stood For Rusted Trash when I first got her) painted Plum Crazy with the Road Wheels seldom got a look?  :shruggy: Installed a set of Cragar SS people started to stare?  :scratchchin:

While I have seen a few 16 wheels that did not make me instantly want to blow chucks, I prefer 14 and 15 inch rims.
