Old school look part 2...now with Torque Thrusts

[Hemidoug]

After thinking some more about the "old school" look on the 69, I just had to take the next step and borrow some vintage Torque Thrust rims and era correct tires from a friend. So what do you guys think? They were missing the center caps but besids that I think they look at home on her....

that is an incredibly uber looking charger!!!!!!!!!!!

Paint them to match the car and it would look even better.

You know, I was sure that I was going to be solidly in the "Love It!" camp, but now that I see them...  I'm afraid they're not really doing it for me.    I think its the vintage tires that kill it.

Looks great!! Should put those wheels all the way around....like this:

Dude - that is just Nasty looking... 

I love it!  It has that look of "If you Mess with me, best be ready to take the Bull by the Horns"

That looks a dang sight better than any 20" rim you will see on any car these days.  When I was a kid I always wanted a Charger done up as the General Lee, now that I am 30 I still think it would be cool to have one done as a Lee for a while just to see the look on my sons face.  My goal for a Charger long term is red, black vinyl top, and torque thrusts wheels so I would vote firmly to leave that car looking the way it does with the mismatched wheels or torque-thrusts on all corners.

Doug,

If you're in the market for a set of Torq Thrusts, check with NYCMille/Mr Angry. I believe he is about to put the ones off my old Charger on the market.

good choice   

[Hemidoug]

Thanks guys! I was intrigued when I first test fit the slicks, thought it looked good. I can't ever remember seeing a Charger done up with this look so I think it's unique also. The rim and tire were borrowed from a friend just so I could see what they look like before I spent the cash. It is the spare out of a 66 Shelby ....vintage all the way. I think I really like this look and may just keep it for the street. I'll have to do a little thinking about tires though...those Hoosiers a very sloppy on the street. I do like the look of them though!

This is another wheel I'm considering....

hmm    well your choice Doug  ....i  would not put that type of wheel on a charger .....  .. up front on a old skool gasser recreation type thing  maybe

[Hemidoug]

15" TTO's
15x7 w/225-70-15 front. 15x8.5 w/275-60-15 rear. Firestone cop tires on the front. Nitto drags on the rear.

[472 R/T SE]

Too bad you didn't live closer, it would almost be worth it to me to break up the extra set I have now.  You'd get the front wheels you need and I'd have the rears for my slicks. 

[RJS]

You should lower the rear about 2" and put some 90/10"s up front with 6 cyl bars to make that car work!!!

[The Kid]

I love the TT look ! I wasn't a huge fan of the Magnum's with the steelies out back, but the TT's and steelies look awesome!

[firefighter3931]

I luv the nostalgia look....nice choice ! 

Doug, how much air are you running in the Hoosiers ? If they feel sloppy try increasing the pressure. 

Fwiw, a bias ply front tire will be a better match with the QTP's....Radials and Bias Ply tires should not be mixed.

For some reason I thought you meant TTII's in your first post.  Those look great!

Mike was gonna let me know when he got ready to sell those. They would look DYNAMITE on a first or second gen Charger!
