    another option would be red rims with the dog dishes and trim ring.

    This looks tits.  I especially like the fact there's NO white letters showing and steel, not cop wheels.  :2cents:

    I'm usually a black cop rims guy, on black cars - NO contest, but in this case, I think red suits the car better.
    I also would prefer it with big thick raised white letter tires. Be sick as.

    here ya go mate, easy.
    cheers,
    aaron





     :wow: :woohoo:    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?

    I agree, the steel wheel suits red best. In black you don't notice the slots and they aid/air the brakes as well. ;) But for your car, red steel wheels is the best IMO. 15" rims would be either 8" I would think. I don't think they'd make anything larger. What size meat you going to run? 275 out back and 235/245? up front? Actually, what's the call Boss? You going to run 'em?!  :grinyes:

    What if you painted the Rally wheels red, and left the center caps and trim rings as they are?   :dunno:  I haven't seen that done before, but maybe there is a reason.   :lol:

    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.   :2thumbs:

    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.
