Man those 15" covers i dont likey!!
I guess I will have to go the 15" steelies and poverty hub caps on my HEMI charger, I dont have the buildsheet, so I dont know what came on the car originally....
Does somebody repro the recall wheels?
A HEMI car doesn't "deserve" dog dishes, IIRC Specialty Wheel was making 15" Recall wheels marketed under the name of "Road Warrior" style wheel, IIRC production dropped off for some time, I don't know if it resumed?, if not, some may still be in stock?..

Specialty Wheel does, there may be others. The wheel shown on their site is quite dark but maybe it is just the pic. The factory wheels were not that dark.
I've had a set of their Recall wheels, the "argent" finish was light...I'd recommend a trim ring be added to emulate the appearance of the OEM wheel, as Specialty's wheel is a cast center(they have a steel insert embedded in the casting to avoid the issues, the OEM wheels had, FYI) welded into a chromed steel rim

I made the mistake of going dog dishes on my 69 Hemi GTX although even with non stock 15x8 in the back. I would never do that again, period mags for a 66-69 HemiCar, well for me anyway.

Bite your tongue!...you will be stoned and crucified for that statement by the must have "dog dish/bowl what have you" lovin crowd..

I have them on my Coronet 500 vert, I like the chrome wheel without the trim ring, I'm not going for 100% stock look. The problem with the repops is they are 15x7 or 15x8 wide where originals are 15x6 so original size tires will look funny on them.
