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?.. 7974306-domingosnextridewithrecalls.JPG (177 downloads)

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 7974319-specialty.JPG (183 downloads)

The 15x6 steel wheel is an H wheel for 1969, no part number or pentastar was stamped on the wheel for 1969 but the part was 2944169. A correct set of date coded real H wheels can set you back 3-5K. I have 4 perfect 3/13 and 1 3/12 H wheels for my A12, I have had offers of 5k for them but they are not for sale I have a set of 5 perfect 2944155 15x6.5 wheels on my R/T , Galen's book doesn't even list them, they are 70 date code but I don't care and they were cheap 7974748-image.jpg (194 downloads) Last edited by AZ_A12_BEE; 12/28/13 06:54 PM.

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. 7974770-image.jpg (172 downloads) 69.5 A12 Bee, first purchased in 1976, car 169 on registry 69 Coronet R/T 440/4 spd 69 Coronet 500 Conv H code 383 4bbl/auto 37 Plymouth PU Find your spot on earth and ride it.

The stainless is a slightly different design. Looking at your pictures.. The C-body outer covers probably are a match.

And if they do, it will probable be a few years till the make another run of those.... So???? I guess Im just gonna get me some steelies and hubcaps.... Or maybe a set of Cragar SS wheels? They look good on a 69 Charger....

I dont see anybody but 69 Charger guys ordering those... And for the price, most would opt for another aftermarlet styled wheel??? I'm using them on my 69 Coronet 500 convertible, but you are right, I mostly see them on Chargers 69.5 A12 Bee, first purchased in 1976, car 169 on registry 69 Coronet R/T 440/4 spd 69 Coronet 500 Conv H code 383 4bbl/auto 37 Plymouth PU Find your spot on earth and ride it.

Only 69 Dodge guys that wanna look "stockish" because they arent even 100% correct for a resto. They would have probably sold more if they had made em 100% correct? I dont knoww.....still it sucks, I was already envisioning my Charger with those rims and an 8" out back with a bigger tire.

Im not concerned at all on staying stock on the tires and wheels. They are so easy to swap I couldnt care less!!! In fact, I do have a set of 15 x 7" magnums with the chromed lips here at the shop right now...but I never cared much for the looks of those....I dont like magnum wheels all that much....

I had an F8 dart GTS, and with the redline dodge centers, they looked great. These cars weren't mass produced for "Show", they were meant to go really fast on a straight line and leave others at the line polishing there wheels!!!!! Sorry Dave, had to be said.........

70gtx440dana master Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 3,519 Lansing, MI	Very old post here.....Can anyone shed some light on this 2944169 H wheel. Appears to be dated 2 22 71 (M51) next to valve stem. Would this be a service part? Or, did Mopar use these in production after 1970? What is the estimated value of a single wheel dated 71 versus the more desirable 68-70 dates.? H is visible on front side. Just filled in with a couple coats of paint.
