    I like the Magnums. The Torq-Thrust style looks good to me in the grey and silver but not the chromed version.

    Dan,

      No offense, but I like either choice over the pic you posted of what is on your car. I'm not a polished aluminum fan.  :grinno: Honestly, if you want the stock look, the Magnums work, but those after-market rims you posted do add some "bling".  I can't decide.  :banghead: I'm glad I cleared it up for you.  :lol:

     You're not thinking about Mopar ralley wheels? I'll admit they're not my favorite wheel but nothing looks more Mopar to me, on an E body anyway.

    Nope...no offense to the Rallye wheel guys but everyone has them on E-bodies...I want to be a little different and run Magnums...don't see many E-bodies running them.  I did have Rallyes on my '70 RR though and loved them.

    I really like magnums too, but if you aren't fortunate to have an enclosed space to store your car, the chrome can be pitted/discolored if cats decide to mark your car - had to get rid of a set just for that reason. They were repros from a good company too....

    Wow...a buddy of mine had that happen to his freshly restored Charger....said a mouse peed on his rear bumper and stained it.  I was skeptical but I guess its true.

    Yeah, I had a set of 15x7's from wheel vintiques, after they were marked, I had to steel wool, clean and wax them every weekend otherwise you could see the discoloration grow. Was disappointing to say the least.
