I would go with factory style "Road wheels" . . . then again I am biased . . . grin Got 15x7 from Specialty Wheel (which was bought by Coker Tire), with powder coated black outer and need trim rings . . . NOT the 15x7 all chrome Mustang wheels. . . .

Steelies and Doggies are sooooo 2004.

And Centerline is a 1980s street racer.
But I like both looks.
There is also nothing wrong with slots my 1st set of rims were used slots and was one of the things that got me into sanding and polishing back in the 70s.
I moved up to 5 spoke chrome though for the White Trash street racer look with 50 series tires and High Jackets.
There is lots of good options to choose from except forget about Big Rims they have no place on old cars and trucks in my opinion.

To each his own, but painted steelies and poverty caps totally destroy the look of a Mopar Muscle car. I feel bad for the poor cars that have to suffer that shame.

iagree the Charger was expensive & the top of the heap for a Mopar B-body = OPTIONS $$$

wheel covers and/or wheels were an easy dress-up (I'm sure a few were ordered specifically to be "up-graded" to aftermarket wheel when new)

per the option & accessory report ONLY ~3.1% (~850) of the ~27,423 V8 Charger 500s (XP29) had hub caps

my charger has dog dish caps now, because at the time, i didn't have any wheels other than the steelies to use to get it back on the road in 2000. it had been parked since around 1985.
it then was parked from around 2007 until a couple of years ago, when it was removed from storage and i'm working to get it back on the road.
from 1971/2 until parked the first time, it wore keystone 5 spokes, cragar s/s, aluminum slots, and various other wheels.
this time around, the wheels will be different, but i haven't decided exactly what they will be.
i hafta' get it going first........... biggrin
