I'd probably see if I could get some non-polished versions of these wheels from centerline, paint them black, and see if I could weld on some tabs to hold dog dishes....

This site shows a pic and it takes a small/9" cap. Tried to copy/paste the pic but they have it right-click blocked as copyright, so I gotta respect that.

I hadn't heard of those wheels until TC@HP2 mentioned them, and surprisingly found those with a 5-min Goog.

I agree, moutnign in a larger wheel might bring the proportions back a little better. Would work best with the larger 10" cap, though, but that's gonna require Ford wheels like this (if Ford had such an equivalent).

There are a lot of neat vintage centercaps on that website, I'd be interested in picking up a set for my backburner custom wheel setup if the price was reasonable, but that 'contact for price' thing turns me off.

Oz Hemi -
Do you have a list of the diameters for Mopar wheel centers and IDs of aftermarket hoops???

Wheel Vintques makes a few 17" steel wheels in 5 4 1/2 bp that you could use. But they are about $200 a piece. http://www.summitracing.com/search/Brand...in/?Ns=Rank|Asc

Somebody with a yellow 71 Demon on FABO used the newer Charger steel wheel with trime rings and ralley center caps and they looked really good.

Heres a pic of different car but it should give you an idea of how they'd look in (Argent looks better) black.

I put 17" Charger wheels on my Dusters

From the back these 275/55 r 17's

So while we're on this subject, what are the opinions on runnign non-factory wheels that aren't hub-centric?

Not hub-centric means piloting is done via the lugnut seats and vehicle weight is then carried by those seats and also via clamp force across the wheel/rotor interface.

I'm guessing slotted uni-lug wheels are even 'worse' as they become stud-piloted?

Thoughts or experience?

I'm pretty sure the have hub adapters. My memory is preventing me from remembering where I've seen them though. Summit maybe?

I've used non hub-centric billet aluminum wheels on hundreds of vehicles and never had a problem..

Look kinda sorta similar to a bunch of centers I just picked up..
(still need the lug holes drilled of course...)

(Same guy who did these centers does one like your's from memory too...just didn't have any around when I got these)

He also did some more modern looking custom cut billet ones for me.

Very nice! I did find out 245/45/R17's fit on the back no problem.

What about the ford crown vic cop car wheels? Aren't they steel 17's that are 5x4.5? No idea on backspacing though. Just a thought.

They look aweful especially on a Charger. Not even going to think about how HEAVY they'd be. A good quality aluminum rim would cost less and look muuuuch better.

those are new charger police car wheels 18" x 7" all steel with new modern dog dishes
