Magnum GT wheel are silver painted steel rims that look like cop rims but without the nubs to retain the dog dish cap. I don't think they are reproduced. Rim widening varies a lot. About 10 years ago a local place in So Cal did 14x6 to 15x8 for me for about $40/rim. And we had a load of like 10-12 rims done at once. Shop around.

I used a company here in Fresno to get the outer rims from for a set that I did several years ago. 15x10 was hard for them to get so they had to get them from Wheel Vintiques (who won't sell parts to the general public). I paid $35/each for the rims (so you know that W.V. probably paid $15 or less). Check your local yellow pages.

Keep in mind that those are aluminum rims though, so I'm sure it will be cheaper then that. Chris VP of Mopar Muscle Cars of Austin 70 Challenger www.mopar.org

I don't think they are reproduced. Correct on both counts, dark argent paint on them. No, nobody's repoping them, although most folks would rather have the non-nub version, like the GT and 1" wider SuperCoupe version.
