Maybe the calipers mount to the front like a stocker and thats why the hoses are so long?

It looks amazing either way, but that is something to think about.

Ok looks like I have it narrowed down to three different sets of wheels but I don’t know.
What do you guys think?

What sizes are they?

I like the first set.  But the second is classic too.

Can you shrink the pictures a little please.   The first pic was my vote aswell but after shuffling the screen over to look i changed my mind to number three. :2thumbs: they have that Rallye kind of look to them.

I like the Foose version of the ralley. With or with out the rivets. But you can't put the  "Challenger" the smooth ones in the photo thing. I still want to use then on somthing.  :2cents:

I prefer the yellow and black wheel combinations. Not biased in any way.  :dunno: :clueless:

Tom :2thumbs:

Thanks 17 x8 on the front 17 x 11 back (I think)

$300.00 a wheel #1
$200.00 a wheel #2
$600.00 a wheel #3

I like the Foose version of the ralley. With or with out the rivets. But you can't put the  "Challenger" the smooth ones in the photo thing. I still want to use then on somthing.  :2cents:

I like it also but I just cant see spending $600.00 a wheel   :eek4:

Hey DB,

Thanks for that buddy. :2thumbs: Isn't there other people making the Rallye rims in 17" aswell with out the bolts in the outer rim ?  Or have you thought about the 17" Magnum 500's, or do you not like them..................... :dunno:

Hemiken
The 500 are a great 15-inch wheel but I don’t like how they did the ring on the 17’s.
That other 17 rally has a weird face up by the center cap, I just don’t like either.
I like the w32 ?? (recall wheel)that you found a while back but I can’t get it in the back space and width I want.

Whats the news on your cuda is it still one week out?

Looks great! nice attention to detail, i hope i can get my car lookin that good one day! Hope those heim UCA joints hold up well on the street though.  :clueless:

That wilwood setup come with its own spindle, or factory?

Thanks Goody.
The spindles are part of the AlterKtion kit and are not Dodge parts; however, they do make a brake kit for the dodge disk or drum spindles.
 I don’t think the heim joints will be a problem   :smokin: I won’t be doing any winter or dirt road driving  :eek4: but just in case, seals it makes a dust cover for them that I will be installing before I hit the streets. :burnout:

I thought about black insets on my wheels but … :dunno: They do look good on your car. :biggrin:

Ok update time just been doing little stuff and messing with the exhaust pipes & some Interior Wiring.  :blah:

The old shock holes were bugging me so I put them to work on the driver’s side holding the lines for the hydro boost and I plugged the passenger side with a stainless steel washer and button head bolt. :dunno:

I wish I had something high tech to cover it with maybe something will come along
