Guys
Keep coming back to this so it's obviously an itch for me.
I want to change the wheels on my Charger.....don't want stock.
I think the car needs a bit of contrast cos the colour is pale. I want classic wheels not modern bling.
The current wheels are 16"
What are your thoughts..?

IMHO I think your wheels look ace. Cool, classic 5 spoke.

You can't go wrong with a set of "Budgies" (Torq Thrust D's), but if you want to be a bit different, how about some Ansen Sprints with some tall rubber, or AR500's in 18 with some low profile rubber.
All available from
Northants Tyres
TTD
Ansen Sprint
AR500

I know this isn't the "classic" look you requested, but here are the AR500's on a 70 Superbee:

How about Kelsey Hayes recall wheels with red line tyres, will be the only car over her with them

These look cool

Anyone know what sizes wheel and tyre combo would work with say a 17" wheel??
Would appear that Torque thrust D's only go to 8x17 ....I thought they went wider??

Hi Richard......I agree it's then a case of getting the optimum sizes.

There's a few $$$ worth of wheels on that 500 Rob, Paul 500 really wants a set for his 69 Charger 500 but even the repops are expensive.
