I need to upgrade my wheels so I’m looking to get some original Chrysler rally wheels. You know some aftermarket ones but I’m wondering if anybody has any feedback on who sells them that they’ve had good luck with. I see a lot of places sell them, but it’s hard to tell from the pictures if they’re close to the original rally wheel some of them say that they’re silver, but are they the argent silver, I would want? And of course I’m looking for rims, trim rings and the bullet center cap with lug nuts, and hopefully I can find the left-hand threaded lug nuts. I’m sure somebody on here has purchased them from a dealer so any advice would be great thank you.

The rims, themselves, are simply a silver color, nothing fancy. Not a shiny silver, like chrome, but a dull silver, like aluminum.

The reproduction wheels sold by Classic Industries (for example) are available in a wide variety of sizes and offsets, and I have used (and witnessed them used) in at least 3 projects, and they look great.

Some of aftermarket (chrome) lug nuts used with the Rallye Wheels come in both LH and RH varieties, and they looks pretty darn original, so if you want LH nuts, (I use my right hand, most of the time) you should not have much problem finding them.

The center caps are painted in the special Ardent Silver, that has a sandpaper texture. The 1970 color was a lighter silver and brighter compared to the 1971 color which is darker, closer to a charcoal gray.

Original wheels are certainly worth the effort, and the 14-inchers are still pretty common. But the 15x7 ones were in high demand as early as the 1980s, so even when you find an OEM set of 15x7, they will likely cost about twice that of aftermarket ones.

Once the beauty rings are installed, one cannot see the (presumed missing) part number at the valve stem, so for the cost, reproduction wheels look very, very satisfactory, compared to the cost and heartache of OEM ones.

Awesome, thanks.
