    15X7 all they way around! I like the dark centers way better than the light ones.

    I dig the polished trim rings tons more than the brushed ones.   :2thumbs:

    I've been running stock 14X6 Magnums on street.


    Weld ProStars on the track.


    Had these American Vector General Lee specials on it until I found out what they were worth prior to the re-into a couple of years ago.
    Bought the ProStars for what I got for the used Vectors.


    Just took delivery on a set of 15X8 Wheel Vintique cop car wheels since new tires are in order for this year.  Going for the MMF look on the street this year...

    Would have loved to shod with Torque Trust II but there were other things needed worse on which to spend the extra mula they would cost!

    I'd run stockers with dog-dish caps if I didn't use the Centerlines. I still have the ones that came on my car. They are some of the lightest rims you can use. Just can't see paying $$$ to add rotating mass to the drivetrain, and lots of the aftermarket rims are heavier than stockers.

    Charger: Vintage Cragar SS' on the back w/ Firestone tires. Vector styled wheels w/ BF Goodrich Radial T/As that slowly leak on the front. However, right now I have the factory steel wheel and tire on the driver's front. Will be swapping for Billet Specialties Magnum 500's. 17x8 on the front and 18x9.5 on the back. Tires will be 245-45 Nitto's on the front and 285-40 Nitto555's on the back.

    Duster: Stock steel wheels w/ hubcaps. Will be swapping for 14x6 & 15x7 Rallyes. 215/70-14 tires on the front and 245/60-15 on the back. Tires will be BF Goodrich Radial T/As.

    Coronet: where's the 'none' choice?  :roflsmiley: I'll be putting Nascar style wheels made by Mr Angry INC on it. Tires will be Michelin Pilot Sports: Front: 265/40/18 Rear: 285/40/18

    Currently have some 15x8 Prime aluminum wheels on it that I scored in the salvage yard for $15 each. Not bad, look kinda racy, and they aren't too heavy. I think they are around 25-27 pounds each.

    Next iteration will use Aero steel racing wheels in 15x10 and 15x8. Very strong and lightweight at around 18 and 20 pounds each. Picked them up at a clearance sale for $25 each.
