What have I done !! Factory stock wheels on 1968 Charger.

Well I done it, gone and changed the wheels and tires for the factory orginal 14" wheels and hub caps, with thin band white walls.

I think I like it

I really like a stock look and as Roger at Monkfish said Its the "Bullet" look, except I don't have ten hub caps, so I hope they stay on my car

Heres the picture from last week, as a comparison with the muscle car look.

Here it is rocking the "Bullet" look when the sun went in, the paint looks almost black in these couple of pictures.

Looks great! You wanna give me your old wheels as you're not using them anymore?

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.

Well......
I suppose swapping them back is not a big task.

Not enough hubcaps to pull off the Bullet look, you're one short!

No and its not airborne either, did that to my last Charger and it was not a pretty sight.

Did it survive the landing

Looks ace. I've been considering changing the 14s on mine recently, but I can't help feeling that I like the look of them more than 15s...

That said, if you do want to sell yours, let me know! Make it easier for me to compare them, haha.

Out of curiosity, what were they? 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the back, 4.5" offset?

32psi is ideal with maual steering, if it's power you could drop the front to 28 or 30 and be ok
