I chose "none". The gas mileage isn't so hot but think of all the money I save on tires!

Torque thrust wheels look good, but think the magnums look better.  But 400 per wheel?  jeez, mags used to cost 300 for all 4, I only spent 800 for the whole car.  I envision a set of 17 inch magnums in the future, but until then I'll stick with the vintage ET aluminum slot mags that are already on the car.

Slots look nice but I dont know..I want to make it as close to an RT as possible. If I had a Coronet or Satellite then ya, slots are the way to go.

I've always liked the polished centerlines better than slot mags, slots tended to look a little plain, even when cleaned and polished up.  (grass is always greener i guess) If you like torque thrust mags, look at those designed for mustangs as they'll likely bolt on as well, I like the black centered polished lip models, which would look great on a charger with a black top black stripe.  Chargers generally look pretty strange with steel wheels and hubcaps, if a car was designed to wear aftermarket wheels this is one of them. 

I do kind of like Keystone Classics, if you can find them.

i own a 71 green rt, and i will put 17'' magnum 500 wheel, i think they are the right one to chose between stock wheel and a big wheel, they are classy, and too much people own torq trust wheel

but i found them expensive, i wonder if we can buy them at some other place than magnum force?

CB

yes, slotted mags are really nice on a Charger. Got many compliments on the look of those rims on my 69.
If I had to choose: chrome TT
