Looks great with either set on, nice to have the option to change back and forth as the mood takes you ...

No worries, I have 14" steels with 68 caps (same as what you have) on my 66. I like the look of the wheels you took off the best as our car is dark green. I'm not sure about what offsets are best. I'm guessing yours are 7" and 8" wide pairs? If you do decide to sell, please let me knowGlen63 wrote:No sorry, old wheels not up for grabs yet, I have to be certain I am sticking with stock wheels in my own mind first.Either that or a get fed up, getting round them in the garage, they look huge when of the car.
But do admit the more I look at pictures the more I like them, it is the closer you get to the car that they become a bit recessed looking, but do allow the curve of the body to standout.
Anybody got any ideas what pressure to run the Maxis tires at ? The owners manual for the Charger says 24psi, but that was on the old cross plys.
I have 32psi in them all round at the moment.

At the moment we are trim twins 
As you can see my rear arches look a bit empty. Not sure if the first and second gen Chargers are the same underneath as your 14" wheels don't look as tiny as mine.

I do like the stock look, but if it were mine, I like the arches to be filled.
15" Wheels and loads of rubber please................
Amazing how just changing the wheels on a car can take it from Driving Miss Daisy to Drive Angry!

How full the wheel arches look depends on a lot on the angle you are viewing the car at.
I did not post this picture with the first lot, as I did not think it looked so good because it shows the wheel arches looking a bit empty.

I don't think it is ever quite "Driving Miss Daisy"
I like to think it is more the "Bullet" look with stock wheels and "The Fast and the Furious" with the big wheels
But it certainly is a more sober look with these stock wheels.

The big wheels I took off are only 1 year old and were fitted new with tires in the USA before the car was shipped to NL.
The bill for the wheels is from Summit Racing and lists the wheels as
2 of 15x7 MAG 500 5-4 1/2 CHR S/S Part No WVI-54-5712044
2 of 15x8 MAG 500 5-4 1/2 CHR S/S Part No WVI-54-5812042
4 of Chrysler Bulls Eye Caps Part No WVI-5002-1
Not for sale at the moment, incase I come over with the need for speed and put them back on

Very nice Adrian...Im a sucker for original and love the Bullitt look. Having said that, Ive ditched exactly that tyre and trim combo on my Polara for 15" steels with whitelines and dogdishes. Think C bodies look better with the bigger wheels. Your 500s are great as well....we all want 15" 500s so keep them, you will regret moving those on when they are gone! Mine had 14" 500s on when I bought her, 15" would look great stunning car by the way

I prefer the wheels you had on before the originals were swapped back, those arches look very empty...
Your car looks great regardless of wheel choice.

I think the 14's look great, mostly because of the Bullitt association.
But I agree you should keep the 500's so you can swap as the mood takes you.

I just think it is good to see a fully stock charger for a change and yes the wheel arches do look a little empty, but I think that is just because of our modem eye.
Where wheels seem to get ever bigger.
