Yup, same wheels...But I bet the ones on the Imperial were 15"....they made both sizes

There are two names I have heard for these wheels, "Appliance Stingray" or "Apache" .....not sure which is correct

yea..that would make sense with the A/P in the center cap....

so from what I have read on these...guess the actual name of the wheels is "Apache" wheels...

I have tried to find the 4th center cap....no luck...thought about having someone with a metal lathe make me turn me a cap out of round aluminum stock......

I really like the looks of the wheels...I suppose they would look better cleaned up and painted

I'm really digging these groovy 1970's retro mags.....they could be so righteous looking on the right Mopar!

Thanks for posting, and hang loose. :icon_smile_wink:

They must be made of magnesium. The cleaning issue...that was the first thing I thought of too...what a bugger to clean! :lol:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
