Your opinion wanted
 


Picking up 2009 Challenger on Friday, it needs new wheels to replace factory wheels.
The car is dark blue. Any opinions out there on what kind of wheels to use??? Thinking 3 1/2 and 8 inch Welds. My kid says go old school; 4's and 8's Crager SS. Going for the stocker look on the street. This will be my foot brake car (to lazy to fix the one in the garage). Your input would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year! :):)

The Cragar SS`s would look cool,and so would the Tourque Thrust D`s in the same sizes! Show uswhat it looks like when you put `em on!

While they aren't street legal (but they can make them thicker), I think that these would look "appropriate" on Mopar! ;)

i wonder if there are any issues with putting 15 inch rims on on a car with big brakes they must have at least a 17 or 18 whell now? better check the caliper clearence before ordering wheels.

I agree with Kenny,, the new race series Centerlines have some great looking styles including the 2 shown above. A set of front and rear Split-Spokes arrived over the holidays here for my son's 69 Nova which has the belly button Weld Wheels on it now. I loved the old Cragar S/S wheels and had them on many of my cars back in the 70s,,but I wouldn't put them on a new Challenger, theres too many good looking up to date wheels available nowadays,,, but thats just my 2 cents. Have fun with your new car, and check out that brake caliper clearance to be sure. Danny Durham

what is the bolt pattern on the new mopar?

You can get the torwue thrust look on a wheel from ford racing. I am sure there are other center caps that would fit them. American Racing probably is making them for Ford.

"..stocker look on the street?'...' Doesn't get any better than those 'dog dish' hubcaps off a 1970!

Dougy boy, did you and Tracey pick it up yet ?

I like the wheels Myron showed. That would be the deal for that ride, if they can make it thick enough for street. That is nice !!
