Do you own your own tire changer @chargervert ? A balancer too?
When is enough going to be enough? Wtf?

My wife's Challenger has the best wheels that were offered by the factory on modern Challengers.

Slots, Keystones, Cragars, Torque Thrusts, 200S, Spyders etc. all look good on classics.
I have two tire machines, one old school Coats 40 40,and a newer rim clamp machine and a Coats electronic wheel balancer. I think I paid $400 for the rim clamp machine,$400 for the wheel balancer,and $250 for the old school 40/40 machine,Craigslist is your friend when buying these. I had the sellers operate each of them before buying them.

That's the point of this thread,there are so many better wheel choices than crappy dork dish hubcaps.

Agree 100%!
The Corvette has 15x8 rallye wheels on it.
These Dynacorn 15 inch Magnum wheels have a machined lip that looks like the factory trim rings.
I love torque thrust wheels, and by painting the spokes to the color of your choice you can personalize them to your car.
Chrysler had the chrome Magnums in 67- 68.. then cheaped out into the trim rings. When I hear ford-style, all I can think of is the 15" because we never had that. But it's still all the same wheel. They had the ugly short center cap.
I have been told that the 15 inch Magnum wheels from Wheel Vintiques use the same outer hoops as they use on their 15 inch rallye wheels. So the trim rings for their rallye wheels fit them as well. A word of caution is to tape the chrome dish up good before trying the trim ring on, just incase it doesn't work.

My point was 15" Magnum 500s are not Ford wheels they just came factory on them. Were the 14" ones on Chryslers also made by Motor Wheel?
I had a pair of the 15 inch Ford chrome Magnum wheels and they had the Ford logo and part numbers stamped into them.

American Motors also used the Magnum 500 from 1968-1974.

Grendel has a set of those heels too, US Mags Indy 101's, 15 x 9 in the rear (custom ordered from the manufacturer) and 15 x 8 in the front. I chose these because any kind of 5-spokes is just too commonplace for my tastes; Grendel has to be unique and stand out.
Slots look great on any old school muscle car.

I would think Motor Wheel did that as an approved vendor?
I agree. The vendors stamped the Chrysler pentastar and part numbers on the Mopar wheels too.
