Well I was going to wait for Wheel Wednesday,but.....

[chargervert]

I ordered these wheels eight months ago, and the arrived today! They are Dynacorn's 15 x 7 Magnum 500 wheels. I was looking for a wheel that would appear like a stock 14 x 6 inch Magnum 500 wheel that would fit a 15 inch tire. These are the closest I could find.

The car I am building the replica of had 14 inch Magnum 500 wheels with Goodyear Polyglass tires. I have to order the center caps,but I think I achieved the look I wanted for the car.

I like those wheels.

'71 Charger R/T in the background? Decked out with a lot of options?

 

[chargervert]

The Charger R/T is my new three season driver,U code auto. I am working the bugs out of it,it's almost ready for prime time.

Those look like the wheels I bought for my 1964 Polara.
Last picture is 30 years old with 14" X 6" Magnum 500's.

Is that the 'one of three' Daytona R/T SE sunroof cars I have seen in a magazine about 30 years ago?

Yes,I am building a replica of the car using a plum crazy purple 70 Charger R/T.

They do look like the same wheels.

How come today's custom wheel designers struggle against wheels from 40+ years ago?

I was watching one of them custom wheel designers show. And a simular question came. Only one designer said of then Cragers. "That's an awesome design we are still chasing today!" I smiled and thought. "I would look at his wheel designs."

Respect of the past deserves a nod.

 

[chargervert]

There are some pretty ugly modern wheels out there! They have not been able to capture the timeless designs of wheels like Cragars and Keystones!

Those wheels look great, thank you for not putting taxi wheels and dork dishes on it!

I run the same wheels in 17X7. Make sure the wheels are seating properly against the brake drums or discs. I had an issue with mine hanging up on the swage on the wheel studs. The solution was to chamfer them a bit.

This is a 70 Charger R/T, not grandma's slant 6 4 door Valiant!

Thanks for the heads up on that I will check it out!

Think you got the look. Nice rims.

I found a picture. You can see the witness marks from the knurl on the studs.

Thanks, Dave. I'll check mine.

 

[chargervert]

Thanks, once again a picture is worth a thousand words!

I still have to order the center caps and retainers for them.
