Not all Tuff wheels are created equally, look hard at the thickness of the center spokes before buying. The factory ones are about 1/4" thick and there are very good reproductions out there, however Grant makes a "Challenger" wheel that straight on looks like a Tuff wheel but the spokes are very thin (like 1/8"). I believe that Grant does make a more correct reproduction though along with several others.
 
I agree on the Grant ones, actually looking for OEM if there is such a thing.
Oh there are OEM ones but hope you have deep pockets... Unless you are doing a concourse restoration I would go with a aftermarket one, just pick the right one like this

I'm going to have to put it to the test! I have both. now I'm curious. I bought a grant wheel years wait! decades ago and I thought it was about the same. // See for yourself. First measurement Grant wheel 2nd Tuff wheel 3rd two spoke wheel.

The tuff wheel did not come stock with the E-body, so I didn't have a problem with a repro.

If you haven't done this already, go to the "Cuda/Challenger Parts For Sale" forum on this site, and enter each part separately in the search block. Those parts might have been posted for sale a while ago and may pop up. Good luck!
