When is enough going to be enough? Wtf?

Now, see to me, that car looks off with those wheels and caps. I don’t know if it’s because they are aftermarket and a little deeper, or it’s the color, which is too much IMO. Either way, I’m not a fan of this one, although I do prefer Roadrunners.

It seems I see dog dishes or Rallyes on 90% of the Mopars nowadays or if not Ford style Magnums. C`mon guys be different instead of copying everyone else! What happened to variety, uniqueness and being different than the crowd? There are some cars that Rallyes and even dog dishes fit and look good on - stock restos, sleepers etc. but putting dog dishes on a fat tire car with a blower sticking out of the hood makes ZERO sense to me. Of course all that said to each their own and "their car, their money, their choice".

When i still had hubcaps on the front wheels of my 71 Hemi GTX, before putting Rallye Wheels on the front.

I came home from work and put some burgers on the grill had a half dozen beers then clicked on Google to come onto Fbbo. And there it was, another amazing Mopar muscle car with those effing goofy painted effing wheels and dork dish hubcaps! Does anyone alive believe that a 70 Sassy Grass Green V code Road Runner is a sleeper! Do you think people won't know what is under the hood with 440 +6 effing decals on the hood. Enough with the effing goofy painted wheels and dork dish effing crap,it's been done to the effing nines. Time to move on and drive real muscle cars that struck the fear of God himself into anyone who thought that they could challenge that car,for the love of God himself! Effing enough already!

Tell us how you really feel!!! cr8crshr/Bill

I actually like this better than the hubcovers.

But this is where I ended up.

Sometimes they made wheel covers that are hard to beat. But caps for the hub? No thanks

Just to keep it going…

Much like Baby Blue in 1985, when I couldn't afford anything beyond the car. Before and after.

I kept the dog dishes on one of my seven GTXs. The fact it was a numbers matching Hemi car made it seem more reasonable.

The stock look does get boring, which is why I mix it up once in a while on my cars.

They're '68 caps on a '69. No wonder it looks off. Like seeing trim ring road wheels on a '68.

Hey, I run 68's on my 70 Roached Runner just because I like them better. I do have the correct 70's if I decide to put them back on someday.

On a numbers Hemi car that is stock it fits and looks good.

I like those caps, too. One year only deal in small size.

 

[Runcharger]

Last time I tried them was on my 69 Hemi GTX. The look just washed out IMO, too plain and dark. Never tried them again. Looked way brighter with 15X7 rallyes, I should have bought torque thrusts for it. Note even my trailer had better wheels than painted cheapies.

 

[6PKRTSE]

Same here. I was able to buy these wheels and load range E tires new for less than new E range tires would have cost for the old steelies, so the steelies became spares.

The hub caps were gone within a week of purchasing the car.

Took me a year to find nice wheels for my 66 Belvedere....

Depending on how much cash I still had after buying the car. My first kept the dishes before selling it, the 2nd was scraping up loose change, working more OT, and borrowing money to buy a set of Keystones and 60 series tires. It wasn’t a week, but it as I recollect, those were on around a month after purchase.

Didn't like the Keystones until many years later....

My new 1969 SuperBee came off the transporter with white wall tires and 14" Coronet wheel discs. They did not last the first week. I turned the white walls inside on affordable chrome reverse rims ( I spent all my $$$ on the new car ). I later ran Magnum 500's on it; a Christmas present from my fiance ( we're still married 54 years later ).

Took me nearly a year to put some decent wheels on my 66 Belvedere.....and those were a set of 68 AMX (sport wheels?). Looked like the factory road wheels only with brushed spokes.

I bought this car in 2014. Met original owner's husband. 23K on car, original brake pads. This is the original owner. Pics are from around 72 I believe. Aside from the wheels, I was impressed that this tiny little gal was driving this big beast. Manual brakes, 3.91's.
