Don't post much but I have a build thread over on FABO.
https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/thr...-thread.326897/
I've have gotten some interest over there on a set of 18" wheels I had a friend make. So I thought I would pass on a little info for anyone interested. I talked to Mike today. He said if anyone wants a set, he'll definitely make em. As far as I know it's the only option for aluminum Chrysler steel wheels in anysize you want. Mine are 18x9 and 18x11. Mike's been making wheels a long time and does an incredible job. Tell him you got his info from Keith.

Anyway contact:

I'll be first on line for a full set and I know a few others behind me as well.

Not sure if these wheels will get off the ground and running, but if sizes are to be debated, I'll probably speak for a majority on here at most.

Here goes: 15" X 3" or 4" for the fronts and 15" X 8" or 10" for the rears. Back offsets may vary.

ooohps. I guess I read too fast out of excitement.
I gather that Mike has only 18" halo jigs thus dictating only 18" wheels.

Also, they may be, again MAY BE cut as billet wheels and that COULD indicate a heavy or heavier wheel compared to a real steel wheel. I could be wrong.

Should be 17, 18, 19, 20" in whatever width. They are 2 piece wheels with a forged center. I'll post more pics tonight. They accept 9" dog dish caps also. I believe everything else available is a Ford/Chevy 11" center. These are the only true Chrysler modeled wheel. I actually gave him a stock steel wheel.

I gather these will be popular with the new generation Challenger and Charger cars.
If I had a Demon, these would be on it.

Mike is an ex-Boyd's employee who was their wheel guy on the TV back then. Very talented guy.

I assume at least $1000 per wheel but I don't know for sure. Anyone have a quote they are willing to share?

The allure for me at least is; can and will they be as light as a forged/stamped aluminum wheels like say, a centerline?
I'm sure everyone if not most here know why I am asking.
This is exciting news.
I've been asking for this very same item for several years now and most said, impossible or no interest.
I think it is for a niche market, but never the less, if it can be made and some what affordable, there will be a decent interest or perhaps and hopefully a craze.

Just think what the F.A.S.T class gang are thinking now, if some have not already secretly had some made.
I'd also get a set for my daily driver that is at most, 3900 Lbs dry

Actually, they are under $1000 a wheel.

Mike said they would be $3,400/set. Not sure if that includes shipping.
