    I purchased mine thru Summit Racing.  15" are the way to go...17" the proportions don't look right.

    Thats is a matter of opinion... I currently run 15's but I think the 17's look great.... It's a matter of getting the right tire size & vehicle ride height.... Trust me, I've seen plenty of 15's that had the setup wrong too....

    The advantage of 17's is much better tire selection...

    I like the year one 17".
    They did a good job with the look.
    But again, it's personal preference.

    Let me mention one other thing about the steel Magnum 500's: they're lug centric wheels and are a pain to balance because the tire shop needs to use a special lug centric adapter to balance them. Most shops don't have the adapter or charge extra to use it. So make sure you find out from the wheel mfg before you buy them if the wheels are lug centric or hub centric.

    All of the stamped steel wheels need to be looked at as lug centric as they are the only things that are truly centered on the wheels.  The center hole is not center for the most part!!  Give me a call on the wheels, I am now starting to handle them..  My cell is 816-654-3400.

    Ok, as I investigate more, a few questions....Mopars used the wheels with the trim rings.  Thinking. Polished for me. Ok, looking at 15x 8 if the 8” will be ok on the front too.  And need suggestions on tire sizes.  Thanks.

    Chrysler only used Brushed trim rings on the road wheel/magnum 500 style wheel....  If you want shiny you might as well run chrome like most guys do since it will be easier & cheaper...   Some guys run 15x8's in the front, I've always run 15x7 because I don't like tires to rub & I prefer my car sit a little low in the front....

    15x7 rim with a 235/60/15 or F60-15 works great for a front setup.  If you want more, there is more!!
