yeah, i agree.  i would love to get bigger brake rotors, but i like the 15" look too much to give it up.  :cheers:

I'm familiar with them. Again, kind of pricey.

I wanted VWW V40's in a bad way but settles for the 17" TTO from Newstalgia Wheel.  Mounted, balanced on Kumho tires to my door for 1500.00.  Threw on a set of 2.5" lugs for the Trans Am look.

1974 Challenger Rallye - 440+.040, 0 decked, 10.5:1, Ross Pistons, Hughes 3844 cam (238/244, .536/.540), Eddy RPM manifold, Eddy aluminum heads, Holley 750, TTI headers, .96" T-bars, IAS shocks, 1 1/8" front sway bar, 3/4" rear sway bar, XHD 6 leaf springs, Firm Feel stage 2 steering box.

Magnums from American Racing an option?
Not too expensive and with custom backspacing.

I do like those AR500s... especially on a black car. Not sure how I'd feel about them on a yellow car.

The deal breaker is the $350 price tag (Newstalgia Wheel) though. That's significantly more than any of the other options.

I vote for #2. Nice looking wheel for the price.
I don't know the name of them, but check out the wheels on 'The Dodge Boys' Challenger. I think they're a nice looking wheel as well. Could be pricey?

Been drooling over those AR500. Priced them a few different places. might be able to get them for less that $300, but that's still more than I want to spend.

Kind of liking these Rocket Racing Wheels too:
"Fuel"

"Booster"


Both can be had for about 250 a pop. A bit more than some of the others.

15" Ralleys

Not one of the choices ::)

If no one steps up to buy the Rallyes in the next couple of weeks though, I'm going to swap out the 15x8s and 275s out back for the 100% stock look. Don't like the staggered fitment with stock wheels at all.

Okay, these are a complete departure from all of the above choices, but I'm really digging them:
Weld Racing RT-S S71


Still waiting to find out pricing and availability on the 17" sizes, but the 15's go for $250 delivered with stems and lug nuts. Not bad for a forged wheel really.

I thinking that black anodized center will look killer against the black stripe on my car, and really show off the brakes (once budget permits). Wonder how well that finish will weather though...  :dunno:
