Want a true Retro look?

[340GTS]

I have always liked the Magnum 500's. I would like to see these on a SRT. They are American Racing 500's and are available up to 18". They are Alloy and look very retro! Will probably fit an SE or R/T but may not fit the SRT. What do you guys hink? 18's on a SRT? Will definaltey hide the Brembo's.



Will probably do exhaust first and wait a year or so to do any wheel swapping. Personally I prefer more sidewall and less wheel. 18's Will hurt performance so I am going to wait and decide next spring. I like to see the posts of different whells on the Challenger. The Torq Thrust M look nice too.....




This is my Third choice for the retro look, but not unough shine. These seem to turn a dull grey in a hurry.

i like the 2nd pair, not to fond of the 1st and 3rd set.

Can someone photoshop that second set of rims onto a hemi orange challenger? Im curious to see the grey on orange

I like the magnum 500's but I like the "new" Chrysler ralleye best:

Posted in another location, going with this wheel. Actually I have a contact that is working with the manufuacturer to do this wheel in a 20 x 8.5 and a 20 x 10. Should be ready in 6 to 7 weeks. I plan on going for the staggered look, will have thye correct bolt pattern and offsets to fit my R/T now on order. Will worry about the caps later!

Not sure what your referring to about 18's hurting performance, if your dropping from 20" to 18" you should be picking up gearing, for example that wheel change would be like going 3.55 to 3.73 gears, or something like that, but then it depends on your tire selection as well ??????

I'm going to do the same thing, only on the SRT you have the 20's, and with the 6 spd, I'll have 3.92 gears, so for the track I don't want to run the 20's (forged wheels nice and strong but to big and heavy) I want a set of 18's with about a 26 - 27" tire and that should put me around a 4.10 gear set. I may have to play with that till I get the run's I want out of it.

What disturbs me the most is how much performance I'm actually giving up from the Dart. That lil GT will "**** 'n Git" as they say, with a worked up 360 and street tires it runs a flat 12.7 at 108, we have the Dart figured at about 330-340 hp at the wheels, but it's a good 1000 lbs. lighter then the Chally, so some playing will be needed.

Good to see the old Keystone look coming back I had those on my 64 riv and loved them...I have to say the second ones really caught my eye I like the alum spoke look with the polished dish
Cool retro finds here!!!

My vote is the Magnum 500s. They resemble the deluxe road wheels of the 1970s.

I agree. The 500's look awesome and they're not on 900 out of every 1000 muscle cars like the torque thrusts are.
