What's the story with the w23 KH reproduction wheels(warrior wheels)? I saw that they reproduced them about 7ish years ago but it seems like they don't make them anymore.... Do they plan on making more or will I have to track down a set, since I really would like to put them on my 1969 charger rt se. Thanks

All gone, nada,...repros come and go, hence the reasoning to buy when they're available, perhaps the best you can do is wait for a new/used set to "pop" up, which is unlikely...


Or contact Specialty Wheel, perhaps he's had enough requests to make another run, or see what kind of $$$ figure is needed to get another run moving, and rally the troops to cough up the coin that want some sets

Oh ok thanks for the info! I would have bought them when they came out but I would've been like 11 years old when they did

Then take the time to call/EMAIL Specialty Wheel, otherwise they'll never respond to the need to re-issue these wheels

If your going to contact Specialty Wheels make sure you are specific as to what you want.
Do you want the aftermarket type with a chrome hoop?
Do you want the correct type with trim rings?
What size do you want it made in etc...

When they first came out they made the chrome hoop and the trim ring style but in the wrong size 15x7.
After I voiced my opinion at one of the major shows the next year they produced the correct style and size.
15x6 for an extra $600 per set.

Something decent, and with all the trim rings, and lugnuts will START at $5K for 4 rims....then the sky's the limit the nicer they get
