Can anybody help me find the make and model of these rims?

I'm NOT generally a fan of anything but 15" rims on old Muscle cars, but there are always exceptions that look great! In my opinion, this amazing '68 Charger build has a great setup with these wheels... I just can't find out any information on them. Well, scratch that. The company that did this sick build is called Big Hemi. They have the Wheel specs listed as follows:

Boss Motorsports F/R wheels with 20X10's in the rear and 18X8's up front.
Boss doesn't have very many wheels listed on their site, and NONE of them match the ones on this '68. I even contacted Big Hemi in regards to the wheels but have yet to receive a response. I'm going to contact Boss Motorsports as well with a picture of the build and see if they can identify their product (we can only hope, right?).

Can anyone help me find the model these rims are and perhaps where to purchase them?

Thanks!

IIRC those wheels used to be sold under the name Hot Wheels.
Took a bit of searching, but I believe they are made by KMC Wheels under the Nova name:

Great find bill440rt! That definitely looks like the wheels! I think they really look great on that car. it has that really subtle but dark look to it. A very cool theme. I'm definitely going with these wheels if I go that route. :yesnod:

I appreciate it, thanks!  :cheers:

Had a set of the Hot Wheels on my Charger. As stated above, they were from KMC. These look just a bit different. Maybe an updated version.

Not particularly high quality wheels. Fairly heavy and they needed a bunch of weight to balance, but obviously, part of that was attributable to the tires.

How about American Racing's version of the wheel? The Nova series? Better quality?

I think they look great on your '69!  :2thumbs:
