It's got some REALLY nice leaf springs, the previous owner had it done, not sure where though. The rims are only 14's but once I get some 15's for it, it should sit nice a squaty.
 It's amazing how much attention I have got from this car. Just about everywhere I go I get a thumbs up, a comment like nice car, or an offer to buy it.
 It needs ALOT of work still and the paint and interior is really bad, but it sounds healthy and from 20 feet it catches your eye. There's not alot of Mopars where I live in Concord California, mostly Camaros, Chevelles and mustangs so that may be why.

  EVIL, at the Carlisle show there was a couple who had a 73 Challenger 318 car; they had 15x7 chrome Magnums (without the trim rings) up front and 15x8s out back which is identical to what i plan for both my Challengers someday. They said the ride was fine and (imo) the look was gorgeous :drool: :drool:

 yea I'm going to put a B body rearend in it, then I'll see how much meat I can cram under it, probably 295's, but if I roll the inner lip could I go bigger than a 295's and still get the tire to tuck? Then would it be better to stay with a 8in rim or go for the 10
 As for rims I'm not sure, one of my friends gave me a set of 4 centerline autodrags all 15 x 7's, so I could always just pick up some fatter ones for the back.
 The old school polished slot mags with knock offs are kinda growing on me though, so I also thought about trying to find some 16 x 8 or 16 x 10 slot mags for the back and then maybe have some 15 x 7's or 15 x 8's up front.
 I think that might look kinda cool going with 16's out back, yet not look ricey. I need to find some Challengers with 15's in the front and 16's in the rear, so I can see if it looks right :dontknow:

 Hey HemiChallenger did you post your pic on the wrong thread?

Very nice '72!  The slotted mags are really nice.  I remember seeing an article in Hot Rod mag. about the Starsky & Hutch movie and how they had trouble finding those type of rims and if they did find them they were expensive.  The car sits nice on those rims!
