I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't stand the magnum wheels. I can't explain it, just don't like 'em on and E-body :2cents:

I like them all, but I am really digging the pictures of the Magnums without the beauty rings.  If I hadn't already bought my Rallye 15's, I would seriously consider the Magnum wheels like scf100's and Finoke's.  Sharp looking IMO!

I like the Magnums.  They are very classy.  The Rallys are more sporty.   :2cents:

I definitely prefer the rallyes on e-bodies. In fact, I'm thinking about ordering a set for my Cuda.

The Magnum company actually made the same rim in different bolt patterns for all 4 American car makers in the 60s
 I like the look of both but the Ralley is unique to Mopars

I'm with magnums! Sorry guys, but I always thought the Rallys looked cheap!

Finoke...what size wheels are you using?  I am switching to Magnums myself...planning on 7" in front with 235-60 and 8" in back with 255-60.  Is 8" the widest you can put in back?  Heard Stockton wheels are good quality and to stay away from Wheel Vintiques..do you agree?

THey are the sizes that I went with. I'm not sure if you can go any wider, but they fit the car real nice.

I went with Wheel Vintiques and after about a year they developed some real light sporadic rusting. I hit em with the finest steel wool I could find and they looked perfect again. On top of that, some of the black paint started to come off too. I would definitely try someone other than wheel vintiques. Unless they have gotton better over the last several years.

Now it's making sense to me!   No wonder Magnums where on so many different cars!  Thanks!

I like the Magnums for the Challengers, and Rallyes for the 'Cudas.  Why?  I dont know.   :rofl:
