I’m thinking of buying some steel wheels with the dog dish caps to give my car a more factory type look , Can’t decide whether to paint the wheels black or paint them body colour ? Any opinions ? Below is how it looks currently, Centerlines will go into storage until I fancy a change again , if anyone has any pics of a 68-70 in my colour with colour coded wheels I’d appreciate it, many Thanks url=https://postimages.org/] [/url]

I vote for body colored (coloured, LOL) wheels. That Charger looks great!

Looks good thanks
If it was black I would keep the centerlines for the meaner look but I think white may suit the colour coded steels better

I just don't get the put it back to just off assembly line look for wheels when what they had was the base stock cheapest hubcap look on a car that you're going to drive. If it's going to sit on a pedestal and never be driven because it "too rare" I can understand, it's a trophy not a car. If you bought a car new back then with the base steelie wheels it was because you were getting mags put on the next day.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Note that the OP is in England, and some choices might be really expensive there, though no budget was mentioned. To my eye, it takes a pretty large wheel - 15x8 - to fill the wheelwells on 68-70 B-bodies and give them an appealing body/wheel relationship. Plus, they were under-tired back then as pretty much all American cars were. I could see a 17 or 18 but the OP wants to go with a more OEM look. It would be cool to run something nobody else has, but a Charger in GB is pretty uncommon to start with. Maybe have those Centerlines anodized red, or the Rallyes, or some big steelies, or a mag wheel that complements the body style... To me, black wheels kind of disappear and lack interest. I think some wheel sites might have a "configurator" to view a Gen2 Charger with different wheels.

I'd say with all sorts of wheels being reproduced now.... Cragars, Slots, Keystones.... let your imagination go! Steelies and Doggies are sooooo 2004.

Cragars and Keystones especially look good on old Mopars, but I would not buy them as they seem to have issues with the chrome finish rusting/pitting/flaking.
