I usually like Foose's stuff, but I've never been enamored with this car.  I like the wheel design alright, but I'm with those who think older muscle cars don't look good with the larger wheels.  I see waaaayyy to much older American iron sporting 22"s and 24"s these days.  I think Challengers and Cudas look best with a 16" or 17" wheel.

Just one man's opinion...  :stirpot:

(G-Man) MY Dilema however... 15x10 is all they offer in the Grey. I Need them 15x12.

15*12's for what???

To run a 15*12 you need a low profile tire with like no sidewall to get them in there and relo'd springs... which defeat the purpous of hooking up and really I dont see how your gonna get them to work... 15*10's are the max and you can get a huge tire in there...lower the car and it make the tires appear even bigger  :clapping:

I saw that car at the Unique Auto show in Dallas (Grand Prarie) last year, and did not care for it nearly as much as the originals.  The wheels were definitely way to big with not nearly enough rubber.  I watch Overhaulin from time to time, and always say that no matter what car they are doing, I would immediately pull the wheels off and sell them.  For me the more rubber the better.  17" is the extreme max that I would go, most likely sticking with 15" and 60 tires.

Maybe it is just me, but those Foose nitrous wheels look reminescint of the mid 70s chevy Z28 wheels, albeit with polished spokes.


MY Dilema however... 15x10 is all they offer in the Grey. I Need them 15x12.

Now

If someone can find out where and work out how I can get TOrque THrust D's in 12" then I can buy myself wheels. Every other wheel doesnt grab me but the size of these is not enough.



Well, you can get polished D wheels and sand blast the center and then paint it, or buy these instead; http://www.team3wheels.com/et/classic5.html  Available in sizes from 15x4 to 15x15 plus 17 and 18" sizes.

You are not alone...... It took me months to decide 15-8 rear and 15-7 front, then ........ralleyes or Cragars. It took a long time and I am going with Cragars as alot of cars have ralleyes, Cragars are 'old school', and the Chrome really accemts the car imho-good luck- I chose the chrome nitros by the way
