17 in Road Wheel look alike wheels

[mrob]

Just wanted to share something with anyone looking for a 17 inch Road Wheel look alike wheel. I stumbled upon them on ebay when I did a search for magnum 500 style wheels. They're made by a company called Rev Wheels and the model name is Classic 109. Here's a link:

The pic in the link does these wheels no justice, so I attached a pic from a vendor and a pic of one of my wheels after I figured out how to make the factory center cap fit. Not hard to do and you use the stock retainers, caps and screws. If anyone is interested, I'll go into more detail, but I'm pretty pleased how close they look to the Roads Wheels on my Cuda.

I'd be curious to see them mounted. Do you have any pictures?

Hi Olacmot,
The wheels are ready to be installed, but it's been too cold for me to do much in the garage (highs barely above 32F). Once the temps warm a bit, I'll install the wheels and post some pics. I think they'll look great. I chose P235/55R-17 tires so there should be enough sidewall for the retro look.

I wish someone would make the repops more closely resembling the originals.  I.e. thinner spokes and in Chrome!

Olacmot,

Today was a nice day and I was able to take the Cuda out for a spin. I also took a few pics while I was at it. Here's a side view for you.

Another pic that more clearly shows how I was able to mount the stock center caps from the original Road wheels. In my opinion, looks pretty nice.

Those look real nice
