To my knowledge, the only 5x4.5" BC wheels made in 15x8 are the mid-'70s Ramcharger wheels, and the six-slot "not quite cop car" Super Coupe/Magnum GT wheels (they don't have the protrusions to retain dog dishes).  In either case, open your wallet very wide and bring your own Vaseline.

On the other hand, Wheel Vintiques makes "repro" 15x8s.  Last I checked they were right around the $100 ea. neighborhood, about 65% of what OE Ramcharger wheels seem to bring, and they're brand new.  No bends, cracks, damage or fatigue.  Summit carries 'em, I'm sure plenty of others do as well.

I was really hoping you were looking for Rallyes.  I have a set of 15" repros, two 7" and two 8" I'd like to sell.  :biggrin:

Thanks for the reply Sinatra. I found what I was looking for...they are used wheel vintiques..got them for $225 for all 4. the guy's about 90 min from me.  I do love the rallyes...but my car came with 14" road wheels (magnum 500) and white walls.

 I am going for more of a sleeper look...either color coded w/ redlines...

or save some scratch...leave them black, and get some RWL tires like I had on my 71...

I'm totally with you on the dog dishes.  :thumbsup:  I've got a set of 'em and 15x7 steelies for my Challenger, along with two other sets of wheels/tires--just because some days I like these, and some days I like those.  Besides, I have two other cars onto which I can rotate 'em if the mood strikes.  :screwy:
