What do you think of these rims on a Charger?

I've been seriously considering these, but I cannot get Copilot to generate a good representation of them on the car oddly enough

This is as close as it got which is closer to a different rocket brand spindle type rim that I've seen.

I've seen worse.
 
furious70, Kinda reminds me of these 80"s Factory Chrysler wheels

they are kind of like the truck wheel, kind of like the AWD charger/magnum/300 wheel except they have an angle vs being flush. Here they are on a Camaro, though I think it has the deeper angle on the front wheels than I would have with 8" up front.

It's been tricky trying to find a 17 or 18" setup with a non drag radial 295 rear tire and a 27-28" tall front tire. There are no 17's that aren't drag radial. Nitto 555's have a 235/50/18 that is 27" tall and a 295/45/18 that is 28.4" tall, trying to get some sidewall with the upgrade.
 
I like 5 star mags like the first pic but like the stars to be wider.
 
The wheels in posts #1 & #2 are going to show too much of the brake drums/calipers.

The wheels in post #3 look good to me, but I would not use them on my '70 Charger. I'm looking for something different than those wheels.

I like the looks of the wheel in post #7.

@Kern Dog has nice looking larger wheels/tires on his red '70 Charger.

I've seen a black Charger with the proper sized set of these, Can't find the picture right now but it looked pretty good..

Thank you. My goal was to have a modern version of a 5 spoke like a Cragar.

Some people don’t like the larger diameter wheels and in many cases, I agree with them. Razor thin sidewalls are not for me.
To the original point though…
I agree with Delta. Thin spokes show more brake components and unless you’re running giant rotors, it might look bad. I love the old school look of these…

I’m likely to use them on this car:

ET has some cool wheels, unfortunately it looks like they are offering less size options than they had previously
