Nothing says "sneaky" like a Hemi Orange Road Runner with a 6-pack hood. Black would look good. HAHAHA understatement of the year! With a car that has A12 cues like that, your not gonna catch ANYONE off guard at the stop light grand prix! Mopar to the bone!!!

I know most of you guys probably run aftermarket brakes with different hats, but that kept me off of them for the time being.

I'm real happy with my forged 18" ,2 piece wheels now...but being sort of in the wheel 'game', having a couple of different styles around is no problem (I might make up a set using some new centers we had made up if they will clear my brakes, just to try out for a change. )

O and those Kinesis Wheels are really pricey. Like $3k+ a set! Last month I found a used pair that came off of a Mustang just like those for about $1800, but the wheel offsets were so big that you would have needed a mini-tub.

They are a 2 pc wheel in all their 17" sizes. they do make one 16" VWW model 48 but that is a one pc wheel. I was also looking at the Team III , LTIII wheels as they make the LT III in 17 and 18" wheels. Some sizes are 1 piece and some are 2 piece wheels depending on the size. The 18" wheels have an interesting rear tire size in the 285/40 size at around 27" x 11.4" wide would be a nice tire for the rear of the old Mopars.
