Did the 1971'challenger use this type of wheel for a pace car? Are they being reproduced?

I think only on the one actual pace car (that was in the wreck). Not the replicas or the replicas used in the parade before the race.

Made by Motor Rim and Wheel.

Oldsmobile had a similar looking rim on its mid 70's delta 88's.

i had a set of those i bought new in around 1975 or so from my local tire shop for $50 because they had sat around for so long nobody wanted them. size was 14x7. i used them on several vehicles, the last one being my 47 plymouth 4dr sedan. when that car left in 1981, those wheels went with it and passed through many owners, but i think i know where they are today. wonder if they are worth buying back ? they needed total restoration a few years ago because someone sprayed them a gold color.

Ok good info there guys. My buddy bought them looking to make a nice clone or something. From the pics, looks like they used a dodge steel rim as a center.

Thanks, wil pass that any to my buddy. Looks like aftermarket wheel he got, so not for a T/A car.
