What are some popular wheel vendors
« on: February 12, 2015 - 09:09:41 PM »
Hi There.

I'm wondering what wheel vendors do you guys search when looking for wheels?  I'm looking for 17" wheels.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

I use these guys because I'm lazy.  They send wheels and tires all assembled and balanced.  Ready to put on the car.   :bigsmile:

Thanks for the advice ToxicWolf.  Are there any others out there besides tire rack, Forgeline, TSW?  I think I'm going with 17" wheels.  Looking for something a little more modern looking, dark grey to black in color.  As suggested by other members here, I'm looking for a wheel that has some offset in it because a flush I don't think looks quite right on a older mopar.  That just my opinion, some people like that look and that's alright for them.


Thanks again.

I like the American Racing Torque Thrust M. They fit great and are reasonably priced.
I bought mine from Summit Racing. They have a geat customer service if there's any problem.

They were the best price at the time. Been a couple years, don't know if they still are. Good customer service.

I am using TSW Snettertons.  They have a wheel lip and come in many diameters.  You can get them in a darker color too.  Inexpensive and lightweight.  I bought mine through Discount Tire so I could see if they fit before I had tires mounted, and still be able to return them with out paying for return shipping.
