no difference in the wheel. center caps vary. The a-body uses a different adaptor can for a rimblow. E-bodies use the same crush can for rimblow and non-rimblow.
Kid - where do you think we got all those rim blow wheels back in the day

I've seen it posted here on Moparts that there is no difference yet I've owned three Challengers coded for Rim Blow wheel & all three had the wheel with the sharp bent in the spoke as opposed to the softer curve most wheels have.... I was told about this difference many years ago by someone thats been into these cars longer than I have & I bought my first Challenger in 74-75....

Part number is the same & it could just be a vendor change but I've never found an A body with the sharp bend & I've owned three E bodies coded for rim blow two from Hamtramck & one from LA & all three had the sharp bend....
Should look to see if the have different vendor codes

I've restored hundreds of rimblow steering wheels and can tell you, They are all the same wheel, same part number, same vendor. What you're seeing is the inconsistancy of mass production at it's best for the time.
