Change my wheels???

[sleepychallenger]

I have 255/65/15 on the back and 235/60/15 on the front.  I would like to find a 15x8 for the back and a 15x7 for the front.  I really like this setup, so I plan to run them sometime soon.  I will start another thread about where to find these sizes.   


I plan to give my rallye wheels to my father for his Dart.  He has wanted them for a while, but does not want to spend the money on a new set.

right on. would be neat-o to see though

      That looks SWEET!!!  Thank you aaron for taking the time to put that together.


Also thank you Carl for the black wheels.  I had my father's wheels next to my car and it just did not look right to me, so I am not going with black.

I never would have thought that the body color wheels would make my car look that good.  I also feel the non-cop steel wheels would look a little better since they are solid. 

I know these wheels are not too hard to find, but what are the widths available on a 15-inch wheel?

Looks like 6-10 available w/various backspacing.

Dog Dish Cap and several trim rings available.

I like the red wheels. You plan to have it done before the next cruise at Power Springs  Aug 30 ?

Clinton,
I like the Rallye wheels.  When I see steel wheels, it looks like the owner couldn't afford the rallyes.  My 2 cents. All 3 of my cars will have rallyes.

Thanks for the info.  I hope to find some in a junk yard to save a little money.  My father already has the chrome hub caps, so all I need is the wheels and some paint.

Maybe, if I can find some and get them finished in time.  We will see.

I understand where you are coming from, but I just feel like a change and this is a cheap way to do it.

I do have a question about the steel wheels.  I went over to my father's place to look at the steel wheels on a couple of C-bodies that he has, and the 15-inch wheels did not look right.  When compared to a 14-inch the 15s had much larger slots (holes) in them.  I am including a drawing to show you what I am talking about.  Is this normal for the larger 15-inch wheels or am I looking at the wrong versions?

Bump.    Were there factory steel wheels on easy to find cars (junkyards) that do not have the large holes I was referring to in the previous post?  If so, which makes and models?  Thanks

You could check what is on Fury's and New Yorkers from the 70's

The two C-bodies I checked at my father's place are a 70's FuryIII and a 70's NewYorker.  These are the wheels I am talking about having the large slots.   Any other ideas?
