What rims should I put on my Challenger?

[Trevor Challenger]

I have a 1971 Challenger convertible and I'm having a hard time deciding what rims I should put on it. I like the looks of the Keystone Classics that are on it now but they are really beat so I could go with something else. Any suggestions?

Torque Thrust 2; They are very similar to the factory wheels on the new generation Challenger "Classic." "Heritage wheels" Old school retro looking, but 1/2 the cost of the factory rims.

I would also probably go with a 17 inch rim,... just my opinion.

Cragars or your current wheels. Torque-Thrusts were more popular in the early to mid 60's. There were a bunch of wheels from late 60's on. Google is your friend for images.

I put the 17" rallies from year one on mine and I get a lot of compliments on them, they look factoryish but better

I still love the old slotted rims if you can find a set in good condition or the Halibrands

Rally rims everyday!

I put some American Racing torque thrust with dark chrome spokes on my cuda with 255/60-15 on back and 225/60-15 on front. Looks great and mean from the back. Tons of compliments

I currently have OEM rally wheels on my 73 Barracuda. Cant make up my mind whether I should just clean this up, get the new reproduction rallies, or go with Crager or American Racing spoke style wheels. Any suggestions? Thanks

I always flip back & for the between the factory Rallyes & Cragars on my cars. Keystones are growing on me over the years. I found these Weld Magnum 2.0's for a steal of a deal for my Challenger so I now run these.

Rears look great from a straight on shot.

Your car looks awesome with the Weld Magnums. I also like the Keystone wheels. Im kind of leaning toward the American Racing spoke wheels, but also the the Cragars. I see you don't have the raised white letters (RWL) facing out. I've talked to a bunch of guys and some like the RWLs and some like the black walls. I sort of lean to the RWL because they give the car that classic look. Any suggestions there? Thanks

Hey 6pk what size are those rear tires? Is that rear a stock set up? I am thinking about new wheels and I was told that I could fit 225 70R15 up front and 275 60R15 out back with no fitment or rubbing issues. Your setup looks right. Fills up the wheel wells perfectly.

275/60/15 will fit in the rear of yours no problem on a 10" rim with I believe a 5-1/2" back space, this is what I have on my 70 Charger with the Cragars.

I run either 315/60/15 Drag Radials or 29.5" X 10.5"W slicks on the rear on a 12" wide rim. The axle is narrowed & leaf springs moved in board with Caltracs & a mini tub.
