Blackcuda.

Nice looking wheels.  Any wheel and tire sizes to go along with them?  That is the size and style I am thinking about. Either Torq-Thrust II's or Coys...

The wheels on my Chally are 17x8 Boyds, and the wheels on my Cuda are 17x8 Coys. I didn't want to go with Torq Thrust II's because they are so popular and I've seen them on everything.
The Junk Yard Dog Boyds on my Chally just came out and are real nice.

those look cool.  ive been thinking about these if i ever got another car:



which i think would be cool on a vinyl top car with this finish:



so hard to tell if it would work without being able to see it on the car though.  and im sure wheels like this with the rubber are at least 2-3k so its an expensive gamble

The Fiske wheels are all custom.  You provide the required measurements and they will build them.  The Profil 5s that I bought ran me about $820 each 17x8 and $1120 for each 18x10 in the Speed Silver painted finish with polished rims.

It begs the question, would anyone be interested in agroup buy next year, or a custon designed set?
I have the ability to make a custom set, but it would only be worth it if a few sets are made. ( I think ) If anyone has access to a CNC I can make it happen REAL easy!

I found a couple of cool wheels- I'll post pics later.

Newstalia wheels are fairly expensive, but you get the look.
I might go with SRT8 wheels if I can't find anything else- they are 18s.

Hay DM, I just bought a Magnum SRT8 and the wheels are 20" not 18" :clueless: :thinkerg:. I was going to see if they would fit my Cuda just for fun.

You are correct, they are 20s. My bad, you would think I know. Let me know if you can fit them. The bolt circle on the Magnum is metric. The SRT group uses different hubs, so it would be a gamble. Let me know wether it works or not- We would like to know - ( DaimlerChrysler ) None of us have had the opportunity to try it out yet.

I sure will let you know...I read somewhere that the metric conversion equals the 4.5" bolt circle. If I get some extra time this weekend I'll try it.
