AR-500 wheels

Anyone have pics of a 17" AR-500 Wheel on a B body?



I've been a 15" kind of guy forever but I think I might like this particular wheel in 17"...maybe...

I've seen an E-body sporting them, but no picture handy.

They are pretty cool, but I just can't get past the price tag. 400 bucks a pop is just too steep.

Thanks for the bump.

Yeah they definitely aren't cheap!

I thought I had photo of a B-body with them somewhere in my document collection. However, I've only been able to locate this pic of the AR-500s' on this C-body.

I looked into them when they came out since I thought they looked pretty sharp too. At the time, I was interested on puttng them on an E-body. After researching available tires I wasn't able to make the wheel/tire aspect ratio work for my taste.

IMO, with the right tire combination they may work well especially on the larger bodies.

Yep, I likey! Thanks for the pic!

I'm imagining them on a 2nd generation Charger, but as you said....they should look badazz on any of the bigger cars....b or c bodies

I desperately wanted a set for my '69 Charger, but I just couldn't them.

what about these
centerline wheels and paint the satin portion black? would save $100/whl, and they're forged in the USA...

What sizes are you wanting , so I will know when I call them and ask....
I have some 16 x 7 Magnum 500 wheels from Specialty Wheels , not billet , all steel , all American.

Just my 2 cents.... Frank

those must be HEAVY....probably 35-40lb/wheel?

I had 17x8 cragar SS's on my old ram (AL center, steel rim like the originals) with 275/60R17's on them and that wheel/tire combo was about 85-90lb each..

I liked the look of the wheel till I saw it on the car , too big and looks out of place . My DD has 17's with rubberband sized sidewalls , it's not a very comfortable ride , but it handles well ...

I haven't checked one of then as far as weight , but I know everytime I put my display on the table at the swaps , it is heavy.

Here is a pic of one.....

I think if you saw them with some 255/50R17's or 235/55R17's, you'd think differently. these tires are 27" OD, so you have 5" sidewall to avoid the rubberband sidewall look.

the all-steel magnum 500's, are those a standard center in an expended rim? that's kind of how my cragars were. only problem, is will they clear big brakes, or only clear what a 15" rim would clear?
