How concerned are you with being 'correct'???

Could step outside the box and go with a 15" 'Magnum'...




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....

Importing used auto parts into Peru can be a real hassle since its BANNED.

I have lost a bunch of parts at customs because of that. Its a gamble...so when I can avoid that I do. I just ordered those cragars.

Really, why is it banned? Some things just can't be bought new.

There's nothing better than the "All Business" looks of a painted steelie with the dog dish caps in my personal opinion. 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.........

Perhaps Galen should start looking in Chrysler parts books.

They are shown for C body wagons.

I have several buddies that do not like them & do not like them on my Charger at all. I run them anyway. They all think there were just over used. Um, yeah. For a good reason. Because it is the coolest wheel ever made.....

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.
