I guess I am a bad one to say about any wheels for your car.  I am with staying with the original type of wheels.  In my opinion you can not improve on what was on them from the factory.

:iagree:   Except that the Wheel Viintiques 15" chrome Magnum 500s are much nicer than the factory 14".

Pic of mine a few years back. Cragar super trick 15x7-235/60 on front and 15x8-275/60 on the rear. Had a very slight rub on the rear wheel lip when passengers in the rear seat.

I really like these  :smilielol:

At least they had the decency not to put them on a Mopar. 

If I saw a Challenger/Cuda all dubbed out like that I might...  :faint:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

The wheels with the holes in them look too much like truck rims. 

What about American Racing's Torqulite, TrakStar, original Torque Thrust or 200S?

I like the first wheel the best.

Got JOB, I'm not one for aftermarket wheels, but those rims do look good on your car.

Damn, these look nice! I might go for your setup too. They are definitely among my current favorites.

If you like the Centerline look and with holes, this is a cool wheel.  This is a pic of one of our member cars.  I think they are Cragars????  Not too sure. 

Jeeps actually had a wheel similar on the Wranglers.  May be the same bolt pattern if I'm not mistaken so you might even pick them up in a salvage yard or craigslist.org for cheap.

Awesome look. Yes, they are also used on Jeeps and maybe even on trucks. But here in Europe US-cars are so rare, that you hardly ever see another classic on the open road. Therefore, the only thing i care about is: Do they look good on a classic Challenger? And i find that they match the round headlights very well, while also providing a tough and aggressive style.

According to the link you posted, these are "Cragar Gambler" - but i couldn't find anything about rimsize or tires. Does anyone know more?
