Attention: Dark Burnt Orange owners
« on: May 11, 2015 - 01:28:45 PM »
Are any of you running std painted (in this case dark burnt orange) wheels with your 1970 440-6 Challengers? I am having a difficult time deciding which wheels, i.e. painted, 14x6 rallye, or 15x7 to go with on my ongoing restoration. My car had no broadcast sheet so I have some flexibility, I like all 3 types of wheels given certain combinations but not sure if I have ever seen the dark burnt wheel color with matching car color combo. If you have any side, front and/or rear shots of the wheels and the tires (I want to see the car's footprint as well) please send a few pics if not too much trouble, thanks.

On many of the Google pics, sometimes the dark burnt orange looks "orange" other times "brown" does it depend on how the light hits the car, and at what angle, or maybe did these owners use a different paint code than the original?

Camera, lights, age of photgraph, shade of the paint, angle the photo was taken, all these things can change the way the color looks.  They say that the internet is a teribble way to pick a car color due to these factors.
