This is for a 1970 Challenger. I need the proper 1970 Challenger "DODGE" center while I am at it. Thanks

After researching and seeing other rims restored by some other vendor's I settled on having Doug do mine - he kept me updated during the process and answered all my questions - I was and am very happy with the results.

I forgot to mention the rimblow wheel I had for my Challenger was absolutely awesome & was from Dave (Plumbeeper). Christmas gift from my bro & looked as original as any I've seen. I wouldn't hesitate to get another wheel from him.
