I'm wondering if it would be possible to get a set of 20" steel wheels made for my new Challenger, that would resemble the old wheels somewhat, and be able to support the red-line dog-dish hubcaps. Anybody done this?

I feel that New style wheels on old cars look great. I feel that New style wheels on new cars look great. OLD style wheels on new cars doesnt look right. My opinion shouldnt influence you anyway though. Its YOUR car and you will be driving it. If you like it, thats what matters. I put 18 inch wheels on my 70 Charger because I liked them. I get some compliments as well as some suggestions to pull them and install rallys or road wheels. I dont care. I like the car the way I built it.

This is a drop center band. This band will accept a standard 15 inch old style steel wheel center , that will take a 9" dogdish cap. May have to use a spacer... Just a possible idea. Frank Long

I likin' it to a guy who in 69 orders a loaded Charger R/T and ops for the steelies and dishes... looks off. A Charger is not a low end car and should appear as such. Neither is a Challenger R/T of today.

OOOOOOO, I like it. I also have a Plum Crazy 2010 Challenger and have been thinking the same thing. I was hoping to find 20" steel rims that had the same design as the old cop car rims. I have a 1970 orange Challenger that has this combination and it looks great. I don�t think this works with all colors, but for sure on the orange and purple. Keep us posted.

New cars have wheels with a ton of backspacing and a very minimal wheel lip on the outside which isn't very appealing to me. On a related note I wish we could get steelies of any size in aluminum instead of steel....

dogdays I Live Here D Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 16,376	So I've looked at the pictures and am wondering when you guys are going to start wearing bib overalls and smoking corncob pipes? I was there when these cars were new and I can tell you without a doubt that the FIRST thing that got changed was the wheels. Chrome 5-spoke wheels like Cragar S/S were top of the list. But nobody, and I mean nobody bragged about stock steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps. If you couldn't afford the Cragars then the chrome steel slots were OK but everyone would know that you were too poor to buy a "real mag". That's another thing. I didn't hear them called "poverty caps" until maybe 20 years ago. I think that was a clever phrase coined by some Hot Rod Magazine writer looking to add punch to a story. I encourage the person who disputes that to post a copy of the oldest printed word using the phrase "poverty caps". With my luck it'll probably be 1949, but I want to know. Anyway, back in the day a real car had to have five spoke or five slot wheels. Stock steel rims didn't make the grade. Best Regards, R.

You may be almost doubling your unsprung weight on the car by going to the 20" steel wheel. I seem to recall seeing a few show cars over the last ten years that had custom aluminum wheels made to look like steel. Its possible, but not cheap. I think Ray Evernham had some made and I want to say there was one other vintage stock car looking vehicle out there that had some made up to look like steel.

BUT, in my opinion, you take a hubcap designed for a 15" wheel and put it on a 20" wheel, and it looks REALLY out of place.

My first Mopar was a '69 Coronet, in 1988. My highschool friend called the dog dishes poverty caps. I have no idea if he came up with that independently, or what, and haven't heard anyone else call them that, either. I've always heard dog dish.

I hope someone comes up with a decent modern package, but think the stock poverty cap would just look way too small on a big rim. Can't actually say when I 1st heard that term, but it was many decades ago. I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

You may be almost doubling your unsprung weight on the car by going to the 20" steel wheel. It was my thread and My 18x11 all aluminum 'steel' wheels are 29lbs. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...m-chrysler-steel-wheels.html#Post2562266 Cool. I would add that an 18x7.5 police wheel at 31# is not an exact comparison to an all steel, 20" factory style poverty wheel. Perhaps it would not be the 60# I posited above, but it may be very near 45-50#. Nearly double that of a lighter weight aluminum 15" wheel or even a race weight steel 15" wheel. I have 15x7 steel racing wheels that are 21#, so your 18x11 at 29# is impressive. Congratulations. I personally can not stand the look of original plain steel wheels and don't understand the attraction to them, but that is my preference. If you and a percentage of other mopar owners are happy with them, or an 18" aluminum copy, Boo Yaa !

Chrome 5-spoke wheels like Cragar S/S were top of the list. But nobody, and I mean nobody bragged about stock steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps. If you couldn't afford the Cragars then the chrome steel slots were OK but everyone would know that you were too poor to buy a "real mag". Make sure you dress like this too, so you can look "hip". And jack up the rear with HIjackers cause that's what they did when they were new.
