I have a set of the MP ones on my 71 Charger R/T and I had an orig one side by side they are very nice, same depth as orig. The only thing is they dont stay on the wheel as well as orig ones so if you race your car or take a long road trip I would remove them first and put them on when you get to a show. They are WAY better than the old 15x6.5 rings everyone was selling.

The MP 15 x 7 rings are pricey, but they are nice... I put a pair on the rear of my Challenger, and I like the proper depth of the ring.

I tried 2 other re-pop pairs, and wasn't happy.

Great question.
What about the SUMMIT brand ones? I was just about to order them. At 38bucks they seem too cheap!

I bought a set of the pricey new MP ones and compared them to some originals I had. The contours of the edge are a bit different. After spending $350 for a set of them it left me a bit disappointed. You'd think they could have nailed it with all the time they spent getting back on the market.

That's what you would think with a lot of parts
that have been made. Always differences..
