S/C and Magnum were same 15x8 look like cop wheels but have no hub cap retaining bumps.
Wish I had never sold mine, doh!

The Magnum set I have are only 15x7. I Don't know if they used 15x8s as well.

Here's a picture of one of my 15x7s. The caps are the same as Chrysler chrome road wheels for many years. The rings are unique. Click on the "Attachment" link above for a better image.

Magnum GT wheels are 15x7, KitCar/Supercoupe's are 15x8, as was stated, centers are the same used for years on mid 70's and up Mopars, and rings are indeed unique to these wheels.

Do both size wheels use the same trim rings?

Didn't Kit Cars come without rings?

Yes, and yes and no. I've seen the kit cars with and without rings, but I think the Kitcars used the 15x8 steelies?

...and Street Kit Cars. Also 1978 Ramchargers and Trail Dusters had nice 15 x 8" steelies.

Oops, I thought they were both 15x8. Surprised that Ma Mopar went to the trouble to build to wheels close looking yet so different.
I'd still like a set if anyone has some.

They should've put the 8's on the bigger B body, and used the 7's on F's.

Thanks, now I just need a car to put the wheels on. You wouldn't believe that I bought my nice set of them at a swap meet for 50 bucks.

I thought about putting them on my wagon so I mocked this picture up to see how they would look.

Thanks guys! I bought a complete 15x8 set plus 8 NOS trim rings from a guy recently. He said they were S/C only, but I thought they came on Magunum's also. I was thinking about putting them on my car trailor but they look to good for that. Thanks for the help!
