Hi!

I was wondering which wheel options were available on a 69 HEMI Charger back in the day?

Thanks!

I forgot the recall wheels.i think the 15 inch wheel covers look good even though they look like they came off a truck or a polara!

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.

EDIT: Looks like Dayclona types faster than me!

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.

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

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.
